On October 16, 1777, British forces under John Vaughan attacked and burned much of Kingston, New York, then the state’s first capital. Though the raid caused widespread destruction and forced the New York government to flee, it ultimately did little to alter the course of the Revolutionary War.

At the Battle of Pell’s Point, a small American force under John Glover held firm against a powerful British advance. Their stand proved pivotal in shaping the course of the New York campaign.

Fought on November 16, 1776, the Battle of Fort Washington marked the collapse of the last American stronghold on Manhattan during the New York Campaign.
