Surprising Victory - American Troops Capture British Garrison at Stony Point
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in the Battle of Stony Point during the American Revolution. In 1779, under the leadership of General Anthony Wayne, American troops executed a daring surprise attack on the British garrison stationed at Stony Point, New York. The wood engraving, created by William Croome and reproduced in 1843, vividly portrays this historic event. The image showcases an exterior view of the battle scene along the picturesque Hudson River. As dusk settles over the late afternoon sky, brave American soldiers charge towards their unsuspecting enemies. General Wayne, also known as "Mad Anthony" strategically leads his men with determination and courage. With boulders strewn across their path and riverside obstacles to overcome, these valiant troops press forward relentlessly. The capture of Stony Point was no small feat for the Continental Army. This victory not only boosted morale but also dealt a significant blow to British forces occupying North America during that time. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from its collection without any commercial intent. It serves as a powerful reminder of America's fight for independence and honors those who sacrificed everything for freedom.
