18ยข Battle of Yorktown-Battle of the Virginia Capes
1981
Although joining Washington's general staff brought him prestige, Hamilton longed for personal honor won on the battlefield. He got his wish at the siege of Yorktown, Virginia when a light infantry battalion under his command captured "Redoubt 10," one of Lord Cornwallis's last remaining holdouts, in hand-to-hand combat. |
