The Continental Con- gress voted a monument to Gen. Greene ; and this statue, after the lapse of almost a century, is the virtual fulfilment of that res- olution. It was put in position in 1877. Major-General Greene was a highly distinguished revolutionary soldier. After Boston was evacuated he was entrusted with the defence of Long Island, and appointed major-general. He was present at Trenton, at Princeton, and at Brandywiue ; and in the battle of Germantown he commanded the left wing which p...ene- trated into the village. At Monmouth, at Tiverton Heights, and at the battle of Springfield, he also rendered distinguished services. He was president of the court* of inquiry upon Major Andre, and was api^ointedto succeed Arnold at West Point, which com- mand he held but a few days. He succeeded General Gates in the command of the Southern army. Congress presented him with a gold medal and a British standard for the battle of Eutaw Springs, and two of the cannon taken from the enemy. North and South Carolina and Georgia made him valuable grants of jn'operty.
