More than 40 Revolutionary War heroes were finally properly laid to rest this weekend in New York.
The remains of the soldiers were discovered in 2019 during a construction project in Brooklyn, New York.
The soldiers’ remains were taken to the New York State Museum in Albany, New York. This weekend they were transported to their final resting place in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.
Their remains were laid to rest Friday at the new Repose of the Fallen memorial in Lake George Battlefield Park – north of New York City.
Steve Bannon discussed the incredible story this weekend on The War Room.
CNN reported:
It all began seven years ago with the discovery of unmarked graves with skeletal bones, centuries old and fragile, during routine construction work in Lake George. Among the artifacts found buried in the frozen earth were pewter military buttons from the First Pennsylvania Battalion, established in 1775 — which helped archaeologists date the remains back to the Revolutionary War, according to the museum.
The artifacts also linked the grave site to the 1775–1776 Quebec Campaign of the American Revolution. It is believed the site was a burial ground for Revolutionary War solders who had been housed at a makeshift smallpox hospital at the southern end of Lake George, according to Anderson.
“Conditions at the hospital at Fort George were not like we think of hospitals today,” Anderson said in a recent lecture about the discovery. “It was essentially a place to warehouse, and in this case, just isolate the sick.”
Lake George had, until this discovery, been associated more with the French and Indian War than with the Revolutionary War.
