“Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan!” In this slide lecture, learn about the largely forgotten Revolutionary War battle for Forts Montgomery and Clinton. Hear the harrowing story of how Patriot defenders outnumbered 3 to 1 held off the British in a day-long fight for control of the lower Hudson River.
