		Steuben was in command of a division at the siege of Yorktown and his division was in the front line of trenches at the crucial moment when Lord Cornwallis made the first overtures for surrender.

		But Steuben was (and still is) a union shop, and this has until very recently placed restrictions on the degree to which studio glassmakers can actually “get their hands” on the glassblowing and shaping process within the factory.
		During the late 1980s and most of the 1990s, Steuben stood on the sidelines as studio glass solidified its position as stylistic leader and the dominant technique in glassmaking.
		Steuben has a new president, Marie McKee, who recognizes that Steuben is a powerful brand name with a rich history, but who is also keen to synchronize the company with current trends in the worlds of art, design and technology.

		Through an active interchange of ideas between themselves and other artists, and with uncanny awareness of the beauty of pure crystal, they have heightened that beauty by means of truly aesthetic designs-designs of utter charm and originality which are subtly more appealing for their gracious subservience to the crystal they enhance.
		Throughout Steuben designs their engraving, cutting and shaping are noticeably executed by craftsmen who are interested in capturing the exact spirit of the designer; they inject no jarring interpolations of techinque to unbalance the composition.

	Valley Forge: Musket Drill
		When the new drill master, Baron von Steuben arrived in camp in February 1778 to train the army, he immediately recognized that Washington's men were committed to their cause, but needed more military order.
		Accordingly, Steuben explained to the dedicated citizen soldiers why a training program was necessary instead of forcing the soldiers to submit to the harsh discipline that ruled European armies of the day.
