Abstract
Description
On June 28, 1778, at the Battle of Monmouth, the benefits of von Steuben�s training were evidenced by the American troops opposing the British Army.
The heroic American performance, a turn in the tide of the war, is attributed in large part to the work of von Steuben. Colonel Alexander Hamilton, an eyewitness, declared that von Steuben�s system of drilling, reviews and inspection imbued the officers and soldiers with the confidence that, from now on, they were on equal ground with the armies of the enemy.
The General von Steuben Statue was erected 2004 by the Steuben Society of America and the Friends of Monmouth Battlefield in grateful recognition of his valiant service to America in her struggle for liberty.
