On this day in 1779,
Washington orders Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne to attack the fortress under Col. Henry Johnson. Wayne sends a dispatch telling Washington that “The fort and garrison, with Johnson, are ours!" Wayne was awarded a medal by Congress, one of the few issued during the Revolution after the Battle of Stony Point, NY.
