Arnold’s Assault
While Morgan’s Light Corps, the 5th and 6th Massachusetts Continentals and other American troops attacked the Breymann Redoubt from the front, the intrepid Benedict Arnold – without a command of his own - joined a handful of Americans in a daring assault from the rear. Near this spot Arnold was shot in the leg. The nameless “Boot Monument” symbolizes his bravery as well as his subsequent treason.
Marker can be reached from Park Tour Road, on the left when traveling north.
