7/16/1779: Mad Anthony Wayne & American light infantry take UK garison at
Stony Point
His sword-blade gleams, and his eye-light beams,
And never glanced either in vain;
Like the ocean tides, at our head he rides,
The fearless Mad Anthony Wayne!
Bang! bang! the rifles go,
Down falls the startled foe;
Bang! bang! the rifles go,
Down falls the startled foe.
"Mad Anthony Wayne," Silber, Songs of Independence
& Folkways: Songs & Ballads of Col. & Rev. Amer.
