Description: Oriskany Battlefield State Historic Site, New York, USA: monument panel. The inscription reads "Here was fought the Battle of Oriskany, on the 6th day of August, 1777. Here British invasion was checked and thwarted. Here General Nicholas Herkimer, intrepid leader of the American forces, though mortally wounded, kept command of the fight till the enemy had fled. The life-blood of more than two hundred patriot heroes made this battle ground sacred forever. This monument was built A. D. 1883, in the year of independence 107, by grateful dwellers in the Mohawk Valley, under the direction of the Oneida Historical Society, aided by the National Government and the State of New York."
