WEBINAR – The Battle of Monmouth Courthouse: The Last Great Revolutionary War Battle in the North

The Battle of Monmouth Courthouse (June 28, 1778) was the largest field artillery battle of the Revolutionary War and was the last significant battle fought on northern soil during that conflict. More widely known for the legend of Molly Pitcher and the dispute between Generals George Washington and Charles Lee, the battle is, to this very day, often misunderstood and overlooked in its significance. This presentation will provide an overview of the Battle of Monmouth and will conclude with a brief discussion of history of Monmouth Battlefield State Park and the latest research being done by the current custodians of the battlefield’s historic legacy.
