Kosciuszko's Garden is a small retreat garden built by Tadeusz Kosciuszko on the side of a cliff overlooking the Hudson River at West Point, New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=USMA.edu ) 〕 First constructed in 1778, it still offers visitors and cadets a place of quiet tranquility during the warmer months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=American Association of the Friends of Kosciuszko at West Point, Inc. )〕 The "General Edward L. Rowny Family Endowment" was established to further sustain perpetual care and maintenance of the Garden and to dedicate a plaque commemorating the occasion. Dr. James Thacher described it in his diary, "Colonel Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a gentleman of distinction from Poland...amused himself while stationed on the point, in laying out a curious garden in a deep valley, abounding more in rocks than soil. I was gratified in viewing his curious water fountain with jets and cascades."〔Storozynski, A., 2009, The Peasant Prince, New York: St. Martin's Press, ISBN 9780312388027〕 ==See Also== *Fort Clinton (West Point) *Constitution Island *Fort Putnam *Redoubt Four (West Point) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kosciuszko's Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
