Anniversary of Morgan's Riflemen in Washington's War
Fifty years past, the Second Continental Congress ordered six companies of expert riflemen raised in Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia to join Washington near Boston. Morgan led the riflemen, a famed corps that harassed Howe and Burgoyne, fought at Stillwater and Saratoga, and produced notable figures like Tim Murphy and David Ellison.
