Molly Pitcher in Revolutionary War Legend Recall
A long juvenile era recounts Molly Pitcher, Mary Ludwig Hays, as a fearless artillery helper at Monmouth and during the New Jersey campaign. It describes her aiding Larry O’Flarhurty, taking his place at the gun after his death, and earning rank alongside Washington. The tale spans her later life, burial, and public recognition, with lilting asides on indulgent patriotism and commemorative costs.
