EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Molly Pitcher, the indomitable heroine of the American Revolution, as she courageously took the place of her fallen husband at the battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778. A devoted wife and patriot, Molly, whose real name was Mary Hays McCauley, had accompanied her husband, a gunner in the Continental Army, to the front lines. When he was tragically killed during the intense battle, she demonstrated remarkable fortitude and determination by taking his place at the cannon, ensuring the continuity of the American forces' defensive line. The battle of Monmouth, fought in New Jersey, was a pivotal moment in the Revolutionary War, with both the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, and the British forces under Lord Cornwallis engaging in a fierce struggle. The day-long battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, but ultimately ended in a stalemate. Molly Pitcher's heroic actions during the battle went down in history, as she not only took the place of her husband at the cannon but also carried water to the soldiers, earning her the nickname 'Molly Pitcher.' Her unwavering commitment to the cause and her bravery in the face of danger became a symbol of the resilience and determination of the American people during the Revolutionary War. This evocative print, created in 1876, captures the spirit of Molly Pitcher and her remarkable story, immortalizing her legacy as a true American heroine.
