THE SIXTH OF JUNE – Many sites are marking the larger event of the D-Day Invasion during World War Two on this date, but in keeping with Balladeer’s Blog’s theme of neglected and obscure items I’ll take a look at a forgotten action from America’s Revolutionary War. With the 4th of July less than a month away, similar seasonal posts will follow in the weeks ahead.

This action involved fighting between New York City’s Sons of Liberty and British forces in the area.
