Battle of Algeciras ( 1278 ) The Battle of Algeciras was a naval battle which occurred on July 25 , 1278 . The battle pitted the fleets of the Kingdom of Castile , commanded by the Admiral of Castile , Pedro Martínez de Fe , and the combined fleets of the Sultanate of Morocco and that of the Emirate of Granada , commanded by Abu Yaqub Yusuf an - Nasr . The battle was fought in the context of the Moorish naval expeditions to the Iberian Peninsula . The battle , which took place in the Strait of Gibraltar , resulted in a Muslim victory . This battle coincided with a simultaneous siege of the city of Algeciras which lasted from 1278 – 79 and was commanded by the Infante Sancho . The Castilian prince would abandon the siege later in 1279 marking the end of the first action of the long battle for the Strait of Gibraltar . History . In 1275 , the Marinid Sultan Abu Yusuf Yaqub ibn Abd Al - Haqq disembarked on the peninsula commanding an army with the strategic objective to occupy the city of Tarifa . Along this route , he directly participated in various actions , including the Battle of Écija . By 1278 , King Alfonso X of Castile , sent a large fleet from Sevilla with the goal of blockading that same city . The fleet , which was made up of more than 100 ships of different types , was commanded by the Order of Santa María de España , a military - religious Spanish order which was concentrated in naval warfare . The fleet was commanded by the Admiral of Castile , Pedro Martínez de Fe . The Moroccan Sultan worked to gather his own fleet of 72 ships and was reinforced with a small fleet of 12 ships sent by the Sultan of Grenada , Muhammad II . Once these two fleets were united , the Muslim fleets recognized a tactical advantage seeing that the Castillian fleet was in poor condition as many of its crew members were afflicted by an attack of scurvy . They decided to attack on the 25th of July and the action took place off the coast of Algeciras and resulted in the practical destruction of the entire Castilian fleet . Aftermath . A large portion of the responsibility for the destruction of the Castilian fleet fell on the infante Pedro who appropriated much of the fleets and the siege ' s tax funding and condemned it to serious supply problems . King Alfonso X however failed to punish his son and instead chose to blame the fleets failure on the Jewish tax collectors Yishaq de la Maleha , ordering his arrest , appropriating all his assets and ordering his execution . The embarrassment following the battle led to the subsequent irrelevance of the Order of Santa María de España which was integrated with the Order of Santiago in 1280 after that order ' s ranks were decimated in the Battle of Moclín . After the integration into the Order of Santiago , the Order of Santa María de España ceased to exist .

The regiment was raised on January 11 , 1777 at Danbury , Connecticut by Colonel Samuel Blachley Webb , a stepson of Connecticut politician Silas Deane . It was one of several so - called " additional regiments " authorized by the Second Continental Congress that were not associated with any particular state quotas . History . The regiment first saw action at the Battle of Setauket in August 1777 under Brigadier General Samuel Holden Parsons . It was then sent to the Hudson River Valley , where it served under General George Clinton in the aftermath of the October Battle of Forts Clinton and Montgomery . In December 1777 the regiment was involved in a failed expedition to Long Island ( a more elaborate attempt on Setauket than that of the previous August ) in which Colonel Webb was captured . The regiment spent the winter of 1777 - 78 at West Point , where it assisted in the construction of fortifications ( including the Webb redoubt , probably named for the colonel ) . In 1778 the regiment was attached to the brigade of General James Varnum . As part of a combined Franco - American attempt to retake British - occupied Newport , Rhode Island , the brigade marched to Rhode Island , where it was involved in the August 29 Battle of Rhode Island . The battle was tactically indecisive , but the regiment was noted for its performance . The regiment wintered in Rhode Island . The regiment spent most of 1779 in Rhode Island , but was sent to winter quarters at Morristown , New Jersey . In the spring of 1780 , the remnants of Sherburne ' s Additional Continental Regiment were merged into the unit , and it was formally added to the Connecticut Line as the 9th Connecticut Regiment . That June , the regiment was involved in the Battle of Springfield , in which a British attempt to penetrated from New York City to the Continental Army camp at Morristown was repulsed . Its winter quarters for 1780 - 81 were in the Hudson valley . Disbandment . The regiment was merged into the 2nd Connecticut Regiment on January 1 , 1781 at West Point , New York , which was disbanded at the end of the war on November 15 , 1783 .

Fort Marcy Park Fort Marcy Park is a public park located in unincorporated McLean , Virginia , in Fairfax County . It is administered by the National Park Service as part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway . History . At the end of the Civil War in 1865 , the system of fortification ( now known as Fort Circle Parks ) which surrounded Washington , D . C . were dismantled . The lumber and other materials were sold at auctions and the land returned to pre - war owners . Fort Marcy is approximately 1 / 2 mile south of the Potomac River on the south side of the Chain Bridge Road leading from Chain Bridge to Langley and McLean , Virginia . The perimeter of the fort is 338 feet ( 103 m ) . When completed , the fort mounted 18 guns , a 10 - inch ( 25 cm ) mortar and two 24 - pound ( 10 kg ) Coehorn mortar s . The batteries were aimed toward the south and west . The hill on which the fort is located was known as Prospect Hill . Originally the fort was called Fort Baldy Smith , after General William Farrar Smith , the troops of whose division began construction of the work . His division crossed Chain Bridge on the night of September 24 , 1861 , and immediately commenced construction of Fort Marcy and Fort Ethan Allen . The 79th New York Highlanders , the 141st Pennsylvania and the Iron Brigade also helped complete the work in the fall of 1862 . A force of about 500 contrabands were also employed and the 152nd New York worked on the entrenchments , which incidentally are still in a very good state of preservation . The site of Fort Marcy is near the location where the famous but bloodless duel between Henry Clay and John Randolph was fought in 1826 . The fort was not completed until the fall of 1862 . It is a relatively undisturbed fort and was named in honor of a native of Massachusetts , Randolph B . Marcy , a distinguished soldier and father - in - law and chief of staff to General George B . McClellan . Detachments of the 4th New York and 3rd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and the 130th Pennsylvania infantry were among the troops that performed garrison duty here during the war . An interesting incident of history is that the body of troops which afterwards became famous as the " Iron Brigade " was originated at this fort in the summer of 1861 , and was composed of the 19th Indiana , the 2nd , 6th and 7th Wisconsin Regiments . The 24th Michigan was added to the brigade soon after the Battle of South Mountain . These units remained together until the close of the war . Foster death . The park is perhaps best known in recent history for being the place where the body of former deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster was found following his apparent suicide on July 20 , 1993 .

He was assigned to the 4th U . S . Cavalry Regiment as a second lieutenant on June 18 , 1867 , and then made a first lieutenant on July 31 , 1869 . Warrington spent most of his career on the Texas frontier and served under Colonel Ranald S . Mackenzie during the Texas - Indian Wars of the 1870s . On December 8 , 1874 , he and ten cavalrymen pursued a group of hostile Comanche Indians through the Muchague Valley . Both groups were riding at a full gallop and several riders of Warrington ' s unit were left behind . Warrington personally captured one Indian , turning him over to a trooper whose horse could not continue , and resumed the pursuit with Privates Frederick Bergendahl and John O ' Sullivan . After five miles , their horses exhausted , the Comanches dismounted and decided to shoot it out with the troopers . Climbing out of the valley onto the plain , they opened fire on Warrington and his men as they climbed up after them .
