1770s 1779 Anthony Attack Attacking Charge Charging Fort Held Independence Point Stony Storming Wayne
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the pivotal moment of the American Revolution as General Anthony Wayne leads his brave soldiers in a daring assault on the British-held fort at Stony Point, New York, in July 1779. The fort, located on a narrow peninsula jutting into the Hudson River, was considered impregnable due to its strategic position and formidable defenses. However, Wayne devised a clever plan to surprise the British garrison by launching a nighttime amphibious attack. In the image, General Wayne, dressed in full military regalia, is depicted at the forefront of the charging army, brandishing a sword and inspiring his men with courage and determination. The American soldiers, following closely behind, are shown in various stages of advance, some with fixed bayonets, others with flags unfurled. The British flag, flying proudly above the fort, serves as a clear target for the attacking forces. This historic event, which took place on the night of July 15, 1779, marked a significant victory for the American forces during the American Revolution. The successful capture of Stony Point not only boosted morale but also provided valuable intelligence and supplies, which were crucial for the ongoing war effort. The 1770s were a pivotal period in American history, and this print serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought for the cause of independence. The meticulously detailed print, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and transports us back to a time when the fate of a nation hung in the balance. This powerful image is a must-have for history enthusiasts, educators, and anyone interested in the rich history of the United States.
