. The borough of the Bronx, 1639-1913; its marvelous development and historical surroundings. THE "NEUTRAL GROUND" 109 "Memorial of the fallen great, The rich and honored line, Stands high in solitary state, De Lancey's Ancient ; Andrew Corsa, born in the Rose Hill Manor House which is situated on the grounds of Fordham University, was the last of the Westchester guides. He was called upon to act as guide to Washington and Rochambeau when he was but nineteen years of age. One time when the French and American allies were march-. Mayflower Chairs ing past the Morris mansion opposite Randal's Island and Snake Hill, where the British were encamped, the enemy's artillery opened fire. Scared out of his wits, young Corsa dashed for his life and took refuge behind the old Morrisania mill. Taking a furtive glance from his hiding place and seeing Washington and the other generals riding along unperturbed and heedless of any- thing about them, he hastily spurred on his horse and galloped back to his place on the line, where he was cheered for his courage. Andrew Corsa died in 1852, at the age of ninety-one at Bedford Park, nearly opposite the Rose Hill manor-house. Blythe Place was a strip of land running to a point somewhat.
