The Battle of Monmouth, a pivotal moment in the American Revolution, comes to life through the heroic tales of Moll Pitcher and George Washington. Moll Pitcher, also known as Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley, emerges as the fearless heroine of Monmouth. With her unwavering courage and determination, she fires cannons at the enemy during this historic battle. As Charles Lee, Esq. , Major General of the Continental Army in America, leads his troops into action against British forces on June 28th, 1778, he is immortalized in an engraving that captures his commanding presence. Meanwhile, Albert Bobbett's painting "Washington at Monmouth" transports us back to that fateful day when Washington himself strategizes amidst the chaos. The significance of this battle is further highlighted by its connection to our nation's anthem. It was here that soldiers fought under a 15-star US flag - a precursor to our beloved Star-Spangled Banner. The bravery exhibited by both sides echoes throughout history and reminds us of the sacrifices made for freedom. In Felix Octavius Carr Darley's artwork depicting Washington at Monmouth Court House from 1858, we witness firsthand how leadership can shape destiny. George Washington stands tall amidst smoke-filled battlegrounds with unwavering resolve etched upon his face. Molly Pitcher firing cannons becomes an iconic image symbolizing women's contributions during wartime struggles. E. Percy Moran beautifully captures her strength and resilience as she takes up arms alongside her male counterparts. Through these engravings and paintings like EVRV2P-00006 or PREV2D-00004 or PREV2A-00011, we are transported back to one of history's defining moments – where valor clashed with adversity on American soil. The Battle of Monmouth remains etched in our collective memory as a testament to unity and perseverance in pursuit of liberty.
