HISTORICAL INFORMATION FOR THE TOURIST. 
OLD POINT COMFORT. 
OliJ Poiiit Comfort i,s riglilftilly the oldest resort in .\niericii, 
for when Christopher Newport anchored his ships in Hampton 
Roads in 1G07 he named I lie place " Pojmt Comfort. " At this 
resort is located the miigiiilieent Hotel Clianiherlin, one of the 
fiiu-st hotels in .\merira. 
Quite in keeping with the name of the place, the Hotel Ghani- 
berlin affords comfort to its many gtiesls, who from north, south 
east and we.«l flock thither at different periods of the year to enjoy 
its hospitality. .\t few resorts Ls there a more agrt'eable ming- 
ling of congenial people from all parts of the countn,', who. with 
the araiy and navy contingent , give the place an air of cosmopoli- 
tanisiTi which distinguishes it. .Socicly lias taken a strong liking 
to this homelike house, where luxury antl beauty are found on 
-—1 
every side, with pleniy to do out of doors and in doors. In point 
of attractiveness for the suininer or winter tourist, as well as for 
the resident guest who wishes for the best in American life, no re- 
sort, hotel on the .\tlantic coast can coni])are with the Chamberlin. 
The climate at Old Point Comfort leaves nothing lo be desired, 
free, as it Is, from extremes of heat and coKI. The winters are 
mild, and the Gulf Stream, which at Old Point reaches closer to 
the shore than at any other point on the coast, keeps the air mild 
and balmy almost uninterruptedly. The shore has distinct 
advantages, being wanner in winter and cooler in summer than 
the inland or mountainous districlj.; and too. the extreme varia- 
tions between the day and night temperature are rarely obsen'ed. 
Indeed, the chief clmracteristics of sea air ar<> equable climate 
and the high degree of humidity — both soothing properties. 
There is also an excess of the life-giving "ozone ' in the air, and 
marked purity of the atmosphere tlirough the fact that the sea 
presents an ever-moving fluid surface, and no impurities in the 
shape of organtic dust can rest upon it so tis to be blown about 
again in mischievous activity with ever>' breeze. 
THE VICTORY OF THE CONTINENTAL 
ARMY AT YORKTOWN. 
During the summer of 1 
tious at Yorktown and felt 
attack, although he 
was not aware of Gen- 
eral Washington's 
movements and 
thought that ho Imd 
only Lafayette to 
oppose him. Wash- 
ington, however, to 
his suiprise, reached 
Yorktown September 
2.5, with his 12,000 
regulars and 5,000 
militia, and September 
28 the whole force 
advanced to attack 
781 Lord Cornwallia creeled fortifica- 
confident of his ability to defend any 
Comwallis. The end 
came October 17, when 
V A Lord Comwallis sent a 
Hag of truce to General 
Washington, and com- 
missioners were ap- 
pointed to meet at the 
Moore 1 louse, " Temple 
Farm," the former resi- 
dence of Gov. Spotts- 
wood, which is located 
about a mile from 
Yorktown. and here 
the terms of surrender 
wen." agreed upon.

TIDE-WATER VIRGINIA. 
There is no locality in .America that offers inon? points of his- 
1 uric interest than tide-water Virginia, and students of Ameri- 
can history and tourists cannot visit this section without being 
greatly impressed w ith the historic sights, as well as the comforts 
which they may enjoy at the splendid hotels in this territory. 
FORT MONROE, the largest fortification in the TJnited States, 
was first a military post in 1G30. After the Revolution, Virginia 
ceded this narrow- strip of land of about eighty acres to the United 
States Government for a military post, and the present Fort 
Monroe was laid off in IS 17. 
FORT WOOL, 
otherwise 
known as the 
Ripraps, built 
on an artificial 
island in 
Hampton 
ttoadsopjiosite 
the Hotel 
Chamberlin. 
This fort cost 
the United 
Stales Govem- 
m e n t over 
$10,000,000, 
and with the 
a-ssLstance of 
Fort Monroe 
it would be 
practiwilly im 
possible for 
the ships of an 
enemy to enter the Chesapeake Bay. 2 
The battle of the .Monitor and Merrimack was fought in Hamp- 
ton Roads. 
THE NATIONAL SOLDIERS' HOME, which is located at 
Hampton, Va., and re:iched from OhI Point Comfort by trolley, 
is the homo of sevenil thousand of our okl veterans who are'spend- 
ing their declining years at this beautiful place. The old town of 
Hampton adjoins the Soldiers' Home, anrj has .many historic 
places of interest. irteludin» the old St. John's Church which was 
built in 10.55. 
THE TAMESTOWN EXPOSITION wai held in 1907 at 
Sewell's Point, which is fust across Hampton Roads from Old 
Point Comfort. 
WILLIAMSBURG, the early colonial capital of Virginia, the 
scene of many event« of both the Revolutionary and Civil wars 
and the home of the (piaint old College of William and Mary, the 
uTn"' "^"""^ House and the old Bruton Parish Church, 
it, I 1*^'"^* BEACH, which is one of the finest seashore resorts on 
the Atlantic coast, may be reached from Norfolk bv trollev cars. 
yiVM tT tOHT MOSRCIK. 
NORFOLK, is the metropolis of tide-water Virginia, and 
with its population of more than 100,000 people has a great deal 
of interest to offer her visitors. It is the terminus of seven rail- 
road lines and sixteen steamship companies, which puts it in 
direct communication with all sections of the countr)'. with both 
trunk lines and steamer lines, and naturally makes Norfolk one of 
the leading commercial tide-water cities. The points of general 
interest include the Norfolk Military Academy, the Navy Yard, 
the Seldon Home, which was used as Gen. Robert E. Lee's head- 
quarters while he was at Norfolk, the Marine Hospital and Fort 
Norfolk, which is the thinJ oldest fort m -iVmerica and which was 
used as a United States arsenal until seized by the Confederates 
during the war of 1801-0.5. St. Paul's Flpiscopal Church and its 
picturesque burying-ground is probably the most interesting spot 
in Norfolk from a historical point of view. This church was 
built of brick brought over from England. It was Bred upon by 
the English under Loni Dimmore during the bombardment on 
New Year's Day, 1776, and a cannon ball which embedded itself 
in the wall still remains and can be seen from the churchyard or 
from the trolley cars which pass the church.

CRANEY ISLAND.^with the a-ssistancc of Forts Noriulk and 
Nelson, protected the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth during the 
war of 1812 against the British. The island at that time wius 
sliaped like a painter's pallet and separated from the mainland 
by a shallow strait whicli was fordablc at low tide. 
"cape HENRY, where I he ships of Newport's flotilla anchored, 
can be reached from Norfolk by trolley cars. A cross now marks 
the spot where these adventurers first landed on .\pril 26, 1607. 
The lighthouse erected hero in 1601 still remains, but is supple- 
mented for service by a new modem lighthouse.
