Additional Description: Lord Stirling served in the American Revolution from the start of the war until his death in 1783. He fought in at least five major engagements, and was captured during the Battle of Brooklyn. His greatest battle was at the nearby Battle of Short Hills, where he held off troops under Gen. Cornwallis that outnumbered his by 2 to 1, allowing Washington and the main army to safely reach the Middlebrook camp.
