The receipts and invoices show purchases made in Lancaster and Philadelphia, especially clothing, fabric, dry goods, and meat. The remainder of the collection is made up of newspaper articles, books, and an album of poetry and drawings. The items were housed in a gig trunk which is now in the museum collection.

John Laurance and the Role of Military Justice at Valley Forge

https://collections.lancasterhistory.org/en/permalink/lhdo21169

Author: Jones, Keith Marshall

Date of Publication: 2017.

Call Number: 905.748 HSP v.141

Author: Jones, Keith Marshall

Place of Publication: Philadelphia

Publisher: Historical Society of Pennsylvania,

Date of Publication: 2017.

Physical Description: 7-29 p.

Series: Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography ; v. 141, no. 1

Summary: Abstract: Introducing a fresh metricâ€”general courts-martial per thousand fit-for-duty troopsâ€”this article expands Valley Forge historiography by quantifying trial incidence in a forty-two-month context to suggest military justice played a significantly greater role over the winter of privation than previously thought. Courts-martial discipline, the essay argues, served as General Washington's fundamental instrument of command and control until drillmaster Baron von Steuben's iconic parade-ground regimen took hold. As Washington's unheralded "courtroom von Steuben," Judge Advocate General John Laurance superintended rule of military law over eighty tattered Valley Forge regiments by diligently enforcing the 1776 Articles of War among private soldiers, officers, and civilians alike.
