Excerpt from The Storming of Stony Point on the Hudson: Midnight, July 15, 1779; Its Importance in the Light of Unpublished Documents
It was more than an exploit. There was more in the event than its surprising completeness or the immediate disturbing effect which a blow of this kind would naturally have upon the operations of a campaign. It proved to be decisive for the year, which at that stage of the contest meant much for the American cause. How it affected the general morale on both sides may appear from the story itself.
