At 88.3 miles in an unkempt clearing (L) is a tall MONUMENT to the patriots who participated in the Battle of Chestnut Neck, October 6, 1778.
To destroy the "Jersey pirates," Sir Henry Clinton sent an expedition here that pushed the patriots from their sand-dune fort, burned their village, and proceeded 15 miles up Mullica River to the mouth of Batsto River.
Here 50 ironworkers gave such good account of themselves that the 1,500 British troops, believing that they were facing regular Colonial troops under Count Pulaski, retreated to their ships.
