The President's House, Washington and Jefferson College

Pennsylvania · USA · School

The President's House on the Washington and Jefferson College campus in Pennsylvania is associated with a Confederate officer.

The family who owned the house during the Civil War were southern sympathisers, in a Union state, which was a dangerous thing to be. They took in a wounded Confederate officer and hid him.

He stayed in the house for a while before he was found. He was captured, and he was hanged.

What is described is a figure pacing the upstairs hallway, back and forth between the top of the stairs and the front window.

That is the route of a man watching the road. Anyone hiding in a house in occupied territory does exactly this, and the pacing is the part of the account that makes sense of itself.

The house is the college president's residence and is not open to visitors.
