Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1859-07-22

to Speaking Of the battle Of Hubbard
ton, mot Hubbardston, Messrs. Editors of
the Boston journal. the Boston journal says
cone Of the inscriptions upon the monu-
ment contains remarkable error, If it is cor
recty transcribed in the Rutland Herald. II
asserts that the battle Of Hubbardston was
1.-THE only battle fought in Vermont during
the Revolution" The Nermonter must have
a very poor memory who has forgotten the
much more important battle of Bennington
which was fought only about month later
in the same year, viz, August II. l777'
The battle Of Bennington was eminently a
Vermont battle, and so were various engage
ments on Lake Champlain, and the capture Of
Ticonderoga and Crown Point: yet neither
of these can hardly be said to have occurred
within the present limits Of Vermont. The
inscription is nearer right than the journal
imagines, and yet it would be more accurate
if it had said 'withn the present limits OF
Vermont" Vermont once covered part Of
New York as well as New Hampshire, which
it does not possess now.
CoRREcrioN.-Ou account Of the Hub
bardton Battle Monument exercises was writ
ten from memory, without notes, and contains
few errors. The reading Of the Scriptures
