Monument Hill Charge

On the night of July 6th, Colonel Ebenezer Francis and his 11th Continental Regiment from Massachusetts encamped along this hilltop, with Seth Warner and his Green Mountain Boys down the hill toward the Selleck cabin on the left and the rest of Colonel Nathan Hale’s 2nd New Hampshire regiment on the right. On the morning of July 7th, British troops pursuing the American forces climbed the steep slope to the crest of Monument Hill. Hampered by brush and fallen trees, the British in bright red coats made excellent targets for Americans positioned near a stone wall along the crest. As the British continued their assault up the hill, the Americans were eventually forced back across the field behind you.
