Drums Along the Mohawk - The War's End and Return Home
Dr. Petry: [Colonial Army troop marches into the fort with the new 13 colony American flag]
Where are you men going?
Commander of Colonial Troops:
Home.
Dr. Petry:
Home?
Commander of Colonial Troops:
The war's over. Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown last week.
Dr. Petry: [All look at the new flag]
So, that's our new flag. The thing we've been fighting for---13 stripes for the colonies and 13 stars in a circle for the Union.
Lana:
It's a pretty flag, isn't it?
Adam Hartman:
Hey soldier, let me take that flag a minute! We did a little fightin around here ourselves.
Gilbert Martin: [turns to his wife]
Well, I reckon we better be gettin back to work. There's going to be a heap to do from now on.
