Love those RevWar Presbyterian Ministers...Witherspoon's another (Reese's GGGGGrandfather).
The reason this (last major in the north) battle gets less ink than many others is that Washington was not present...wherever he was gets more attention (Monmouth, Brooklyn, Brandywine, Trenton, Princeton, &etc.)

In the histories I have read - mostly “old” histories - Springfield is regarded as nothing more than a skirmish, or almost an aborted battle. Monmouth is shown not only as the biggest battle, period, but the last “major” battle in the north. Springfield seems to be “minor”.

BTW, I’ve seen an identical clock up close, they look and sound beautiful. Made in, hmm, Mass or Conn.
