Additional commentary.
1.
The Continental outpost, headquartered at Joseph Young’s house, had been a strategic depot for supplies and a defensive position protecting the area between Bedford and the Hudson River. The house itself stood near what is now Blythedale Children’s Hospital, and it had endured multiple raids before the final, devastating assault in 1780. The soldiers were originally buried nearby, but in 1923, their remains were reinterred beneath this monument donated by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
