On this day in 1777,
Maj. Gen. William Tryon makes his way to Compo Hill, CT, close to where he would board his ships. Brig. Gen. Benedict Arnold's men form up for another attack, having to retreat the day before. 400 British troops, led by Gen. Robert Erskine charge with bayonets and the Americans scatter. Tryon's men board the ships and sailed off from The Battle of Norwalk.
