Bates Girls of Scituate Save Invasion from Royal Navy
The Bates sisters, two young daughters of lighthouse keeper Aaron Bates, watched from a beach near Scituate as a British man-o-war sent ashore sailors. They seized a historic fife and drum, played Yankee Doodle behind a sand hill, and caused the fleet to retreat, earning the title American Army of Two for their courage. The prior plan to seize the lighthouse by a local land company was blocked by citizen protests and patriotic groups nationwide. The town had raised $1,000 for lighthouse purchase in March.
