Catalog Code: 
P- 0799
Description: 

Interlocking puzzle cut with bulb knobs in 1935 by Parker Brothers Pastime cutter #468.  45 figure pieces, color line cut.  During the Revolutionary War, Martha Washington (1732-1802) joined her husband for part of each winter encampment he attended, including the 1777-1778 encampment at Valley Forge. Martha arrived in the beginning of February and left in early June.  In 1777, George had been leading the fledgling Continental Army for two years in a war against Great Britain when he set up winter quarters for his men in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Martha traveled 10 days and hundreds of miles to join him at the stone house he used as his headquarters. She joined him at each subsequent encampment.  Her visits were remarkable for the ladies of that era and set an example.  Artist unknown.
