A column of 300 men under Colonel Samuel Herrick marched over this ridge to attack Baum’s main position from the rear. As soon as Stark’s troops overran Baum’s main position on the top of this hill, reinforcements under Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich Von Breymann approached from the west. A large contingent of Seth Warner’s Continental Regiment arrived from Bennington and met the Brunswickers about a mile west of the river crossing. The Vermonters drove back Breymann’s troops and pursued them until sundown. General Stark later wrote, “Had day lasted an hour longer, we should have taken the whole body of them.”
