The Battle of Monmouth was the largest single day battle of the war with nearly 25,000 men involved. It was the first true test that demonstrated Washington’s training of his men at Valley Forge had paid off, as they stood toe to toe with superior British numbers in a pitched battle. One of the glorious footnotes celebrates Molly Pitcher’s taking over her husband’s cannon when he fell from heat stroke.
_________________________________________________________
The Battle of Monmouth.
On this day in history, June 28, 1778, the Battle of Monmouth is the last major battle of the American Revolution in the north. Philadelphia had been occupied in September of 1777, but the entry of France into the war on the American side made the British change their entire strategy. Philadelphia could no longer be safely defended and New York was at risk.
British General Sir Henry Clinton was ordered to return to New York. He did not have enough ships to transport 15,000 soldiers and their equipment, plus thousands of Loyalists and their belongings, back to New York. Instead, he put most of the Loyalists on the ships and marched his troops overland.
George Washington and the Continental Army had spent the winter at Valley Forge. The down time gave them the advantage of training with the Prussian Baron von Steuben, a military officer who helped train the inexperienced army in basic battle tactics and maneuvers.
Washington’s generals were split over what to do. Some wanted to attack the British, while others believed it was crazy to attack such a large army. It was eventually decided that a small force would attack Clinton’s rear while waiting for the main body of the army to arrive. General Charles Lee was offered the command, but he refused, until Washington gave the command to the Marquis de Lafayette at which point Lee demanded control of the operation.
Lee encountered the rear guard of Clinton’s army, under Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, on the morning of June 28th near the Monmouth County, New Jersey, Courthouse. Lee gave inconsistent and unclear orders to his men and, after several hours of fighting, Lee ordered a retreat. Just then, Washington was coming up the road with the rest of the army. When he encountered Lee’s fleeing troops, he was incredulous. When he came across Lee, Washington flew into a tirade and dismissed Lee for his incompetence in one of the few times we know of that Washington lost his temper. Lee was later court-martialed for his role in the affair.
Washington rallied Lee’s fleeing troops and blended them in with his own troops. The British made repeated attacks, but they were repelled every time. The day was so hot, with temperatures soaring over 100 degrees, that many dropped or even died, of heat exhaustion. This battle is the source of the Molly Pitcher legend, where she allegedly took her husband’s place at the cannon when he fell from heat exhaustion.
The Battle of Monmouth was the largest single day battle of the war with nearly 25,000 men involved. By nightfall, both sides were exhausted and the battle stopped. Washington expected to resume the fight in the morning, but the British had withdrawn in the night. This was the first pitched battle success of Washington’s army in the war and it proved that the training at Valley Forge had worked. Up to 1100 British were killed or injured and around 500 Americans, making it one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war. The Battle of Monmouth was the last major battle of the Revolution in the north, as the British shifted their strategy to the southern colonies. The next time Washington’s army would face the British would be at Yorktown in the battle that would bring the war to an end.

Oversight Committee
@GOPoversight
🚨JOINT STATEMENT🚨
@GOPoversight, @JudiciaryGOP, & @WaysandMeansGOP:
“Politicization and misconduct at the Department of Justice and IRS during the investigation into Hunter Biden reveal a two-tiered system of justice and unequal application of the law. According to whistleblower testimony, the Justice Department refused to follow evidence that implicated Joe Biden, tipped off Hunter Biden’s attorneys, allowed the clock to run out with respect to certain charges, and put tax-cheat Hunter Biden on the path towards a sweetheart plea deal. This is a mockery of the core American value of equal justice under the law.
“This weaponization of the federal law-enforcement power to benefit the Bidens adds to Americans’ growing mistrust in our institutions. If we are to remain a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, Congress has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this abuse of power and hold bad actors accountable. Our committees are pursuing a thorough investigation into this misconduct to deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.”

Jim Hays
@JayHamiltonMAN
Mary Ludwig Hays was wife to artilleryman William Hays and was carrying water for the battery to cool the cannons, hence the nickname “Molly Pitcher.” When William succumbed to a wound (or heat exhaustion) she took his place at the cannon. One account reports she had a cannon ball pass between her legs ripping her skirt, but she never missed a beat in returning fire. After her husbands death she remarried (McCauley) and eventually applied for a pension as a soldiers widow but in 1822 PA awarded her a grant of $40 annually “for services rendered” in the war. The legend of “Captain Molly” was born after the war appearing in many prints of the time but it wasn’t until 1876 that the citizen’s of Carlisle, PA claimed that Mary Hays was the heroine of the battle of Monmouth. Several other women are claimed to be “Molly Pitcher” and it is possible that the story is an amalgamation of several women who participated directly in the war effort.
