America's First Medals: Medal Awarded to Brigadier General Anthony Wayne

[silversaver888]

On July 26, 1779, Congress voted in its session that a gold medal be awarded to Brigadier General Anthoy Wayne.

It was not until March 1790 that Thomas Jefferson handed the finished medal to George Washington, who had sent it to General Wayne with a personal letter.

For the Victory at Stony Point, 1779

The medal depicts America, distinguished by her scutcheon. On one hand is a mural crown, and on the other is a crown of laurels, with General Wayne receiving the crown of laurels.

The Latin inscription reads, in translation: The American Congress to the Commander of the Army Antony Wayne.

The reverse of the medal shows the Americans storming the fort of Stony Point in battle formation with fixed bayonets.

The Latin inscription reads, in translation: Stony Point conquered, 15 July 1779.

In 1779, the British sent a force up the Hudson River in order to strengthen their position in New York. This force occupied the American fort at Stony Point, General Washington decided to reoccupy the fort and selected General Anthony Wayne with a force of 1359 men. The fort of Stony Point was surrounded on three sides by water and connected with the mainland by marshes, making it a very serious challenge.
By dawn of July 16, the Americans had taken the fort. Only 15 Americans had been killed and 80 wounded, while the British lost the battle with 63 killed, 70 wounded, and 543 captured men.

General Anthony Wayne - Revolutionary War Hero by Crash Course History, YouTube

The United States Mint offered the America's First Medals Collection in 1973. These medals honor the American Revolutionary War engagements. Included in the set is this Medal awarded to Brigadier General Anthony Wayne. The set was published in 1973 by the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of History and Technology. There is one "medal" with the Department of the Treasury insignia and ten commemorative medals in the set. It also comes with a book detailing the history of each medal written by Vladimir and Elvira Clain-Stefanelli. With "America's First Medals" on the cover, the book and medals are housed in a classy blue "leather" cover that is tucked inside a white paper sleeve.

I shall feature the medals one by one.

Lt. Col Henry Johnson put his feet up on the the improvised crate as a hassock and lit his favorite pipe. The sun was almost down around Stoney point as most of his troops are in the process of settling in for the night. All is routine, glancing at his new watch he liberated in New York. The sounds of an orderly sentry change was on time. The unexpected fussing of an exhausted horse stopped short of the door, the clatter of equipment rattled familiarly before the door swung open. The wide eye cavalry lieutenant rushes in and salutes, "Reporting Sir, about 1500 Continentals are approaching from the west five miles out."
"Relax Lieutenant, thank you for your report and get some rest for battle at first light. 1500 won't be enough for full frontal attack in broad daylight. We'll have the cannons positioned by morning. They can't be stupid enough to negotiate the marshy flanks. What could possibly GO WRONG!?"

Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

Wonderful that we honored our forefathers with these impressive Medals @silversaver888 , it is a shame it took 11 years before George Washington was honored!🙄

Congress decided to award him in less than 10 days after Wayne won the battle, and it took them 11 years to implement!!! How about that, @silvertop ?
