Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Laurel Hill Cemetery, overlooking the Schuylkill River, founded by John Jay Smith (June 27, 1798-Sept. 25, 1881) with partners Nathan Dunn, Benjamin W. Richards and Frederick Brown in 1836, it was the second Garden or Rural cemetery in the United States (after Cambridge, Massachusetts' Mount Auburn Cemetery). John Jay Smith also founded West Laurel Hill Cemetery, over City Line in Montgomery Township, where he is buried. Selected as designer for Laurel Hill was architect John Notman (1810--1865), born in Scotland and educated at the Royal Scottish Academy. Notman conceived of the Cemetery as an estate garden, based in part on English ideas of planned landscapes as transitions between art and nature. Many early visitors and funeral-goers traveled to Laurel Hill via steamboat on the Schuylkill River. The graves of several Revolutionary War heroes were moved to Laurel Hill from other cemeteries in Philadelphia. A famous one was that of Hugh Mercer born on January 17, 1726, Roseharty, Scotland. At the beginning of the1745, Mercer became an assistant surgeon in the Jacobite Army under Charles Edward Stuart. In the aftermath of Culloden, Mercer was forced to flee, emigrating to America in 1747. After 8 years of practicing medicine, Mercer was drawn back into the military and was commissioned as a captain in a Pennsylvania, and had risen to the rank of colonel by the end of the French & Indian War. In 1757, Mercer became a member of the St. Andrews Society of Philadelphia. Promoted to brigadier general by the Continental Congress, General Mercer was mortally wounded during the Battle of Princeton, and though attended to by the famed patriot Dr. Benjamin Rush, he died on January 12, 1777.
Laurel Hill Cemetery is noted for many Civil War figures who were buried here during and after the war, including over 40 generals, and other officers, such as Horace Binney Faust, Civil War Union Army Officer. Born Oct. 15, 1843, he died in the service of his country on December 18, 1863 at Bealton Station, Virginia. His parents, David Faust (b.October 27, 1814 in Lehigh County-d. May 9, 1907) and Jane Dungan Faust (b.Aug. 30, 1817 in Bucks County- d.May 7, 1892) are buried here next to him, but their grave markers are no longer standing. Philadelphia Mayor Reyburn was one of the Honorary Pall-Bearers at the funeral of David Faust a widely known business man and financier, President Emeritus of Union National Bank of 39 years.
Many thousands of monuments, mausoleums, statues, lavish sculptures, unusual carvings, and every type of gravestone are in Laurel Hill, The ostentatious and interspersed with the practical and plain, such as that of Dr. David Colin Urquhart, born at Pennicuick, Scotland, May 4, 1812. That thrifty Scotsman, who died January 6, 1884, chose a sturdy, unoramented gravestone for all those buried in the plot, (similar to that of Owen Jones) including his wife, Anna Carroll Urquhart, (great-granddaughter of Captain David Weatherby of Revolutionary War fame), and two sons, a daughter-in-law, infant grandson, and daughter.

Top Philadelphia Attractions - Philadelphia Travel Guide Video
Take a tour of some of the most historic buildings of America.
Historic Philadelphia is where the Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for the creation of America. Not only is the city packed with sites that commemorate what they did, but you can visit the places where they actually lived and worked. Let's start with Declaration House on Seventh and Market Street. Thomas Jefferson lived here during the time he wrote the Declaration of Independence. He wrote the document in three weeks.
The Liberty Bell, right here on Sixth Street, is perhaps Philadelphia's most famous attraction. On July 8th, 1776, it was rung to commemorate the hearing of the Declaration of Independence. The Bell weighs 2,000 pounds, which may not be apparent by looking at it. It was cracked in 1846, and has not been rung since then. Across the street from the Liberty Bell is Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Inside you can visit the room where the representatives gathered and you can see the actual inkstand that was used at that time.
Congress Hall, as you might guess from the name, was home of the first Congress. On top of that, George Washington and John Adams were inaugurated here, and the Bill of Rights was ratified right inside. The Bourse Building was the first commodities exchange in the United States. This is the second bank of the United States which was modeled on the Parthenon in Athens. It was built in the early 1800's and was one of the most powerful financial institutions at one time.
The Merchant's Exchange, right here behind me, is the oldest stock exchange in the US. City Tavern is a recreation of the original City Tavern where the founding fathers, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams used to meet. You can have an authentic Eighteenth Century dining experience here. Even the waiters where outfits from those times. Here is the first bank of the United States, which was operational from 1797 to 1811.
At Franklin Court you can walk through Ben Franklin's house, kind of. Though the structure itself was raised in 1812, the ghost of it still stands today. Here is the Christ Church Burial Ground, another famous landmark, where Ben Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence were laid to rest. That was a short glimpse into the history of America. Most of these buildings are open to the public, check online for details. I am Brian Freedman, showing you Philadelphia.
Philadelphia - Home of American Independence - VOA Story
Philadelphia is known as the birthplace of the United States, the nation's cradle of liberty. It began back in 1776 when the 13 American colonies announced their independence from the British Empire with their Declaration of Independence. And Philadelphians, along with other Americans, mark this day of freedom every July 4th. As the nation prepares for its 231st birthday, Stasia DeMarco visited Philadelphia's historic Independence Mall.
The first stop for many tourists to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is Independence Hall -- the place where the founding fathers met to discuss and write the Declaration of Independence.
Actors dressed as key early American patriots -- George Washington, Ben Franklin -- add to the historic ambience, and talk to tourists. Famous relics and sites such as the Liberty Bell, Carpenters' Hall, and the house where legend says seamstress Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag, attract more than three million visitors to Philadelphia each year.
More people from the United States and around the world visit Philadelphia for the 4th of July holiday than at any other time of the year.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Jared Ingersoll (October 24, 1749 – October 31, 1822) was an American lawyer and statesman from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress and a signer of the United States Constitution. He served as DeWitt Clinton's running mate in the 1812 election, but Clinton and Ingersoll were defeated by James Madison and Elbridge Gerry.
Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Ingersoll established a legal career in Philadelphia after graduating from Yale College. The son of British colonial official Jared Ingersoll Sr., Ingersoll lived in Europe from 1773 to 1776 to avoid the growing political conflict between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies. In 1778, having committed himself to the cause of American independence, Ingersoll returned to Philadelphia and won election to the Continental Congress. Ingersoll became convinced of the need for a stronger national government than that provided by the Articles of Confederation, and he was a delegate to the 1787 Philadelphia Convention. Though initially seeking amendments to the Articles of Confederation, he supported the new Constitution that was produced by the convention.
He served as the Pennsylvania Attorney General from 1791 to 1800 and from 1811 to 1816. He also served as the United States Attorney for Pennsylvania and as the city solicitor for Philadelphia. He argued the cases of Chisholm v. Georgia and Hylton v. United States, two of the first cases to appear before the United States Supreme Court.
Ingersoll affiliated with the Federalist Party and was deeply disturbed by Thomas Jefferson's victory in the 1800 presidential election. In 1812, the Democratic-Republican Party split between President Madison and Clinton. The Federalists decided to support a ticket of Clinton and Ingersoll in hopes of defeating the incumbent president. Madison prevailed in the election, winning Ingersoll's crucial home state of Pennsylvania.
