P.S. Arnold was wounded, but got credit for the day. Col. Otto von Breymann, they say, was shot by one of his own Braunschweiger.

Still, it was the murder/scalping of Jane McCrea, a beautiful blonde who was to marry a Tory, that kept the Tory home and brought out the Patriot.

I believe that there is a monument there -- to Arnold's leg which he should have lost -- the only part of him the country would give tribute to.
