“Mad” Anthony Wayne’s Continentals stormed and captured the Hudson River promontory of Stony Point, on July 16, 1779, assuring General George Washington’s grip on the strategic location of West Point, New York. God blessed us in those days by giving us a few “mad” men to courageously fight our battles. The small-scale Battle of Stony Point was fought at Stony Point, Rockland County, New York.

Do you have any information on the men that fought at the battle of Stoney Creek.Do you have a list of those that died?
Let me Google that for you: Google.
There was nothing “mad” about Wayne’s attack at Stony Point- that unfortunate nickname belies the careful planning that went into the assault and, in fact, comes from a later battle.
See my book “The Enterprise In Contemplation” for a complete account of one of the most dramatic episodes of the Revolution.

Mr. Loprieno,
Much of the popular literature published about Peter Francisco states that he fought at the Battle of Stony Point. I read elsewhere that you dispute that fact. Did you find any record of his participation in that battle? If not, why do suppose they claim he was there?

Just read your message on November 28, 2012. After an exhaustive search, I have found no record of Peter Francisco at Stony Point. See ‘Enterprise In Contemplation pp. 75-6.

In regard to my 1st posting… The soldier I am interested in was James Bleakney (var spellings).
