The Battle of Long Island, also known as the Battle of Brooklyn or the Battle of Brooklyn Heights, fought on August 27, 1776, was the first major battle in the American Revolutionary War following the United States Declaration of Independence, the largest battle of the entire conflict, and the first battle in which an army of the United States engaged, having declared itself a nation only the month before.
Cornelius was taken prisoner during this battle and placed on one of the prison ships known to be HMS Jersey. It was here that he died of neglect and the monument shown within is for all those who's numbers are greater than the balance of deaths in the civil war are remembered.
