BATTLE OF WYOMING PLAQUE


Near this spot was fought on the afternoon of the thrid of July, 1778.
THE BATTLE OF WYOMING
in which a  smalll band of patriotic americans
chiefly the undisciplined, the yourthful and the aged
spared by inefficiency from the distant banks of the republic
led by Col. Zebulon Butler and Col. Nathan Denison
with a courage that deserved success.
Frealessly met and bravely fought
a combined British, Tory and Indian Force
of thrice their number.
Numerical superiority alone gave success to the invader
and widespread havoc, desolation and ruin
marked his savage and bloody footsteps through the valley.
This Monument commerorative of these events
and in memory of the actors in them,
has been errected

the services and sacrifices of their patriot ancestors.
