        1/ In the first decades of the 1700s, ironmonger Samuel Nutt from England created a successful iron foundry. When he died, his wife Anna took the enterprise over: she got the capital from wealthy Philadelphians and hired ironmongers, journeymen and apprentices to do the work.

        4/ So they were very pro-Revolutionary. When George Washington needed a site to rest and train his soldiers after the loss at Brandywine, Potts offered a recently vacated little iron town with all that cleared land - a forge in the Great Valley. And that was Valley Forge.

        a man who warned of the danger of political parties of cunning, ambitious, unprincipled men taking power for themselves subverting the power of the people, we have seen his prediction come true today

        Thank God for George Washington and those patriots who followed him. We need more of that patriotism today. Country over Party! (and rich donors).
