Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This monument was dedicated in 1928 by the members of the Saranac Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It commemorates Benedict Arnold's Battle of Valcour, which, on October 11, 1776, delayed the British from sailing up Lake Champlain. They returned to Ile aux Noix in Quebec for the winter. The next spring only to be defeated at Saratoga where the Patriots were waiting for them. The picture shows the monument in the Town of Peru on the New York mainland and Valcour Island in the background. The monument will soon be moved about a mile north for the monument's safety because the shoreline behind it has eroded. |
