The West Point Story, produced with the full cooperation of the United States Department of Defense, with its United States Department of the Army along with the United States Army and the United States Military Academy itself (on the Hudson River at West Point, New York, founded 1802), was said to be based on actual files documenting many of the real-life dramatic historical occurrences and characters at West Point over its long years and decades since its 1802. establishment under the new United States Department of War (1789) and under the administration of third President Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826, served 1801–1809), two decades after the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and the disbandment of the old Continental Army under its commanding General George Washington and later first President.
