Klappentext zu „Battle of Ridgefield “
The Battle of Ridgefield was a series of engagements and skirmishes between American and British forces during the American Revolutionary War between Danbury, Connecticut and the coastline near modern Westport, Connecticut. On April 25, 1777 a British force under the command of the Royal Governor of the Province of New York, Major General William Tryon landed between Fairfield and Norwalk, and marched from there to Danbury. There they destroyed Continental Army supplies after chasing off a small garrison of troops. When word of the British troop movements spread, Connecticut militia leaders sprang into action. Major General David Wooster, Brigadier General Gold S. Silliman, and Brigadier General Benedict Arnold raised a combined force of roughly 700 Continental Army regular and irregular local militia forces to oppose the British, but did not reach Danbury in time to prevent the destruction of the supplies. Instead, they set out to harass the British on their return to the coast.
