It was here that British general Sir Henry Clinton and 1,000 men set up an encampment, hoping to lure Washington down from West Point into a battle that might end the war. But Washington outfoxed Clinton by sending General Wayne and his elite Corps of Light Infantry to Stony Point for a surprise attack. After that, the British withdrew from the area and turned their focus to the south, where two years later, Washington defeated them at the Battle of Yorktown, effectively ending the war.
