Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1881-07-22

1t is a matter of no little public concern
and importance that the monument commem-
Grating Bennington battle should meritorious-
ly represent the generosity and gratitude of
the sons and daughters of New England to
those patriots who 30 heroically won the VIC
tory Of August 10, 1777. The governors of
Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
in their appeal to the officers of the New Eng
land Society of the city of New York, use
these words Gentlemen, the legislature Of
the state of Vermont incorporated the Ben
nington Battle Monument Association for the
purpose OF erecting suitable monument to
commemorate the heroic deeds of the men of
Vermont Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
who, ON the 10th of August, 1777, under the
command of John Stark, achieved victory
over the invading enemy which sealed the
fate of Burgoyne's army and secured the in
dependence of the colonies. Au appeal is
therefore made to the sons and daughters of
New England and New England ancestry, and
especially to the sons and daughters of Yer
mont Massachusetts and New Hampshire, to
testify their appreciation Of this patriotic en-
deavor by aiding financially in accomplishing
the purposes Of the association
