Book excerpt: Excerpt from Somerset County Historical Quarterly, 1918, Vol. 7 Resolved, that Thaddeus Kosciuszko, Esquire, be appointed an Engineer in the service of the United States, with the pay of sixty dollars a month and the rank of Colonel. Thus it was, that, at two dollars per day, this Polish nobleman's son became an American Engineer and Colonel. It is said, and I believe is not disputed, that, while awaiting the action of Congress, he made a plan for fortifications at Billingsport, New Jersey, on the Delaware, twelve miles south of Camden.
