Battle of Stony Point, 1779

The Battle of Stony Point took place on July 16, 1779, during the American Revolutionary War. In a well planned and executed nighttime attack, a highly trained select group of George Washington's Continental Army troops under the command of General "Mad Anthony" Wayne defeated British troops in quick and daring assault on their outpost in Stony Point, New York, approximately 30 miles north of New York City. The position was taken in 25 minutes with the loss to the British of nearly an entire regiment of infantry that served as a huge victory in terms of morale for the Continental Army.
