Prato Rio, now a L-shaped house with a 64 by 22 f e e t stone s e c t i o n and
a 30 by 18 f e e t r e a r long wing, reached i t s present form i n four s t e p s
between 1731 and 1840. In 17311 Han Yost Heydt, o r Hite, erected a
one-story log cabin which was 18 f e e t square as h i s residence. The
walls were comprised of l a r g e square hewn logs clinked with clay; t h e r e
was one chimney and f i r e p l a c e , a s i n g l e large room on t h e first f l o o r ;
and a sleeping l o f t above. Sometime a f t e r 1800 t h i s l o f t was changed
i n t o a second s t o r y bedroom and the log walls were covered over on
t h e e x t e r i o r by clapboarding.

Prato Rio was t h e home from 1774 t o h i s death i n 1782 of Charles Lee,
an important major-general of t h e Continental Army during t h e War
f o r Independence. The house is t h e only extant structure t h a t i s
s i g n i f i c a n t l y associated with General Lee. The farmhouse now has a
f l o o r plan t h a t dates from 1820 and t h e northern h a l f of t h e stone
portion was added i n 1840.
H I STORY
Charles Lee was born a t Dernhall, Cheshire, England i n 1731. He
became an ensign i n 1747 and a lieutenah* i n 1751. He was on t h e
Braddock expedition of 1755 against Fort Duquesne, and became a
captain and served i n t h e Mohawk Valley i n 1756. H e was badly
wounded i n Abercrombiets d i s a s t r o u s a t t a c k on Fort Ticonderoga i n
July 1758. Recovering, Lee was present a t t h e capture of Fort
Niagara i n 1759 and with &nherst a t t h e capture of Montreal i n
September 1760. Returning on leave t o England, he became a major
i n 1761. In 1762 he accompanied t h e B r i t i s h expeditionary force t o
Portugal, where he became a l i e u t e n a n t colonel and served ably under
Brigadier General John Burgoyne i n t h e campaign of V i l l a Velha. @
October 5, 1762 Lee.performed a b r i l l i a n t f e a t o f arms when he l e d
a night a t t a c k on a Spanish post i n Portugal, crossing t h e Tagus
River and carrying h i s objective a t t h e point o f t h e bayonet. With
peace, Lee was r e t i r e d and put on half-pay i n November 1763.
' d .
Seeking m i l i t a r y s e r v i c e elsewhere, Lee was well received by Frederick
t h e Great and became aide-de-camp t o S t a n i s l a u s , King of Poland, i n
whose army he a t t a i n e d t h e rank of major general i n 1765. In 1766
he returned t o England and received a grant of 20,000 acres i n F l o r i d a
f o r h i s m i l i t a r y ser*ices.
In 1769 Lee fought with t h e Russian army
against t h e Turks, l i v e d i n England and France i n 1771-72, and came
t o North America i n 1773, where, i n 1774, he took up land i n Berkeley
County, Virginia (now J e f f e r s o n County, West Virginia)

8. Significance (Continued)
Naturally a r a d i c a l , Lee f u l l y endorsed t h e p a t r i o t s i d e and, because
of h i s m i l i t a r y r e p u t a t i o n and wide experience, was highly regarded by
both t h e Continental Congress and Washington. On June 17 t h e Congress
made Lee t h e second ranking major general o f t h e army besieging Boston.
t e e was w i t t y and s a t i r i c a l , cynical, s a r c a s t i c and i r a s c i b l e i n h i s
d i s p o s i t i o n . He was a l s o p o s i t i v e and dogmatic i n h i s manner of speaking,
e g o t i s t i c a l , vain, p e t u l a n t , captious, ill-mannered, profane, v i o l e n t l y
changeable i n h i s opinions, e x c i t a b l e , and ambitious. In s h o r t , a
genuine e c c e n t r i c , Lee never married, but poured out h i s a f f e c t i o n on a
pack of dogs t h a t accompanied him everywhere. In anger he had l i t t l e
c o n t r o l over e i t h e r h i s tongue o r h i s pen. On t h e o t h e r hand, he was
extremely generous t o h i s f r i e n d s and considerate of h i s s o l d i e r s , and
h e had a genius f o r making loyal f r i e n d s of important people.
Regarded a s a "prodigious acquisition" by both Washington and Congress,
Lee probably l i v e d up t o t h e s e high expectations during t h e f i r s t 16
months of war. In J u l y 4775 Lee joined t h e American camp before Boston,
t a k i n g command of one o f t h e t h r e e d i v i s i o n s comprising Washington's
ajmy. Lee, t h e experienced professional s o l d i e r amid hundreds of amateur
Continental o f f i c e r s , brought t h e o r g a n i z a t i o n a l , t a c t i c a l , and engineering s k i l l s t h a t were s o badly needed. I n t h e winter of 1775-76
Washington s e n t Lee t o l a y out defensive p o s i t i o n s a t Newport, Rhode
. Island, and i n February-March 1776, he prepared s i m i l a r plans f o r New
York City. A f t e r f i r s t 6rdering Lee t o assume command of t h e American
army invading Canada, Congress countermanded t h i s order, and.,on March
1, 1776 d i r e c t e d Lee t d t a k e command o f t h e Southern Department. A t
Baltimore, Norfol4, and Williamsburg, and a t Wilmington, N.C., Lee d i d
a l l h e could t o strengthen defenses and organize cooperative e f f o r t s
among t h e S t a t e s . On June 4 he reached Charleston, S.C., where G o v e m r
John Rutledge put t h e South Carolina troops under h i s command. Lee's
a r r i v a l g r e a t l y encouraged t h e Southern o f f i c e r s and troops. Noting t h e
weak p o s i t i o n of t h e h a l f - f i n i s h e d f o r t on S u l l i v a n ' s Island t o t h e e a s t
of Charleston, Lee wished t o abandon t h e f o r t . However, too much l a b o r
and p r e s t i g e was a l r e a d y invested i n Fort Moultrie (then known as F o r t
S u l l i v a n ) , and t h e hour was l a t e , s o Lee f i n a l l y agreed t o complete t h e
f o r t and make it a s defensive a s possible. When t h e B r i t i s h launched
t h e i r poorly planned and executed naval a s s a u l t on t h e f o r t on June 28,
they were driven o f f with heavy l o s s e s . In h i s r e p o r t t o Congress, Lee
gave f u l l c r e d i t t o t h e Carolinians f o r t h e v i c t o r y .

On August 8 Congress ordered Lee t o r e t u r n t o New York C i t y , where t h e
main B r i t i s h army had landed and was p r e s s i n g Washington. Lee reached
t h e main army and assumed command of a d i v i s i o n on October 14, 1776.
A t a council of war h e l d two days l a t e r , Lee vehemently urged Washington
t o r e t r e a t t o a s a f e r p o s i t i o n and t o abandon Fort Washington on t h e
Hudson. Washington d i d r e t r e a t t o White P l a i n s , but decided t o hold
on t o Fort Washington i n an e f f o r t t o block t h e navigation of t h e Hudson
a s long as p o s s i b l e . On November 12 Washington crossed t o t h e west bank

t h r e e d i v i s i o n s o r about 5,500 e f f e c t i v e troops under h i s command. On
October 16 Lee wrote t o General Horatio Gates t h a t he d i s l i k e d t h e p o s i t i o n

Lee was exchanged f o r General Richard P r e s c o t t i n April 1778 and on
May 20, 1778 rejoined t h e army a t Valley Forge, where he w a s welcomed
by Washington and t h e s o l d i e r s almost as a conquering hero. A t councils
of war held on June 17 and 24, when Washington suggested aggressive
a c t i o n against S i r Henry Clinton's army as t h e Monmouth campaign opened,
Lee r e p l i e d it would be llcriminalll t o hazai'd an engagement and most o f
t h e general o f f i c e r s present agreed with Lee. On June 27 Washington

declined and Lafayette was then given t h e honor of leading t h e a t t a c k .
But when Lee learned t h a t Washington had b u i l t up t h e advance corps t o
include some 6,400 men, o r n e a r l y h a l f t h e army, he asked f o r and received
t h e command.
On t h e morning of June 28 Lee advanced c a u t i o u s l y as n e i t h e r he o r
Washington had much accurate information about t h e t e r r i a n . Lee crossed
t h r e e ravines o r morrasses, one of them bridged only by a narrow caseway,
and then came i n t o contact with t h e B r i t i s h r e a r guard. The Americans
attacked but t h e r e was no formal l i n e of b a t t l e o r order and t h e

recrossed t h e ravines. Lee himself seemed t o be a l t o g e t h e r self-possessed.
The advance guard had passed two of t h e t h r e e ravines when Washington
rode up well i n advance of h i s own troops. H i s l a s t message from Lee
had indicated probable v i c t o r y and Washington was amazed and f u r i o u s t o
