“One of these was when the Lee captured the British brig HMS Nancy on Nov. 29, 1775, with its cargo of 2,000 Brown Bess muskets, 100,000 flints, 30,000 of artillery ammunition, 30 tons of musket ammunition and a 13-inch brass mortar. This was a tremendous benefit to the new Continental Army.”
I bet that was some commando raid. Cold steel, no fire-fighting permitted or that brig would have gone up like a volcano.
And it’s pretty dang sad what the NE corner of the US has devolved to since then. Heroic acts for this result. SMDH. And most of my kin were in the Hudson River Valley area of NY since the early 1600’s. Grave spinning is in effect.
