This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

    On Character and Creativity: Philosophical Reflections on Moral Education in the United States Military

    On Character and Creativity: Philosophical Reflections on Moral Education in the United States Military Harry H. Jones IV Memphis, Tennessee M.A., University of Virginia, 2010 B.S., United States Military Academy, 1998 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty Of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy University of Virginia May 2016 © Copyright by Harry Howard Jones IV All Rights Reserved May 2016 For Laura, Haddie, Harrison, Gresham, Mary Goodwin, and Kate iv Abstract My dissertation seeks to bring recent work in ethics and creativity to bear in new and interesting ways on the Army’s moral education efforts. The U.S. Army aims to develop leaders who can exercise excellent moral judgment, often in extreme situations, and who have the ability to solve new, complex problems as well as old problems in innovative ways. One question I aim to answer is, “How might the U.S. Army develop leaders who are deeply moral and exceptionally creative?” In order to do that well, the Army needs substantive conceptions of both character and creativity. I argue for a conception of character that places emphasis on the skill-like nature of virtue and, subsequently, a conception of creativity as, itself, a skill. The exercise of a skill is sensitive to a variety of external factors present in any given situation. The exercise of virtue is sensitive to situational factors as well, but moral education in the Army gives insufficient attention to this. While character development is about much more than merely about doing the “right thing,” one important aim is to equip agents to exercise good judgment.

    Fort Montgomery: Fortification on the Hudson and Threatened Historic Site

    Middle States Geographer, 2010, 43: 85-95 FORT MONTGOMERY: FORTIFICATION ON THE HUDSON AND THREATENED HISTORIC SITE Andrew D. Lohman Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering United Sates Military Academy West Point, New York, 10997 ABSTRACT: In its short history, both as a Revolutionary War fortification and a state historic site to commemorate that role, Fort Montgomery has been a contested place. Built to protect the American’s first efforts to chain the Hudson River during the War for Independence, Fort Montgomery was attacked, captured, and destroyed by the British within two years of its construction. In 2002, after years of effort by historical groups, Fort Montgomery opened to the public as a state historic site to celebrate the history and cultural heritage of the Hudson Valley region. Yet once again, this site has become a contested place as budget shortfalls within New York State threaten its future. While most works and discussions on Fort Montgomery focus on the historical events at this particular place in 1777, this paper examines Fort Montgomery from a geographical perspective, exploring the locational decisions and geographic considerations which led the Americans to initially select this particular place to defend the Hudson as well as the decisions to potentially close this historic site. Furthermore, this perspective illustrates that these historic sites are not only valuable places for learning about events in the past, but also about the historical and current geography of region. Keywords: Fort Montgomery, Hudson River, Revolutionary War, Historic sites INTRODUCTION West Point, the site of this year‘s Middle States‘ Division annual meeting, has played an important role in American history.
