and it was clearly a palisade of a triangular shape for it to begin to appear. i started it by myself right here, one shovel, one wheelbarrow, and i couldn't hold back. i wanted to go -- i knew i had a dpra grant that wouldn't kick in and help other people. i started here, and the first day i was digging right under the grass and i came up with a piece of pottery. i was roped in, and this woman was here with her son watching this guy pretty skeptical. and she finally said to me, what are you doing? you know,pele know you're out h digging in sacred properties? i had that pottery, and so i looked at her and i was pretty manic at the time because i knew this pottery was old enough. i said i'm finding james fort. she sort of backed away with her son, come on, bobby, let's not upset the nice man. she said that. i hope she came back with him. that was 1994, and here what i had done, what we had done luckily enough was to dig in this place, which turned out to be a filled-in cellar of a building that we've replicated above that we found, you know, pieces of by finding

the palisades. washington irving, who wrote one of the first and i think one of the best biographies interviewed the people that were there. they told him that washington burst into tears of helplessness and frustration. it was the lowest point of what had happened. he had been responsible for that. it was his decision to defend that indefensible fort. and he began, and others around him, to wonder if this man was up to his job. and there were grave thoughts that maybe he would have to be replaced. and then he led his men in retreat across new jersey west toward pennsylvania, and he asked lieutenant monroe to stand by the edge of the road in newark, new jersey, and count the troops as they went by. there were 3,000 of them left. he started with about 30,000 men. he lost nearly 90% of the army under his command. and he was beginning to despair. he wrote home to his family and he said prepare to move everything into the mountains. he told them that he thought that the game just might be about up. but

my friends -- palisade. my friends from california might also be interested to know colorado has a burgeoning wine industry as well. in colorado's grand valley, pictured here, conservation programs have been efficiently employed to protect 14 family farms growing peaches and wine grapes, among other things. the federal investments made available to protect these lands have not only ensured that they will stay in agricultural production, but the resources provided from the natural resource conservation service, nrcs, help these family farms acquire new land to planned and new equipment to planned it. mr. president, as you can see and as you already know, conservation is an integral part of what we're all about in the west. it helps define who we are. sometimes people only focus on conserving public land in its undeveloped state, and that's an important endeavor in colorado and across the west, but private lands conservation, the type aided by the farm bill, is critical for so many reasons. to protect the agri
