Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Addresses at Carlisle, Pa: 1. At Unveiling of Molly Pitcher Monument, June 28, 1916; 2. In First Presbyterian Church, July 4, 1915
The fort was vulnerable both by land and water, 1nd should have been evacuated without a fight when the other parts of the island were abandoned. How ever. His commanding general ordered otherwise, and after one of the most sanguinary battles of the war, in which more than 800 of the enemy were killed or wounded and Colonel Magaw displayed great bravery, he held a council with his officers and it was deter mined to surrender. His name is inscribed on the pillar of fame, and when the monument on the site of the fort was dedicated on November 16, 1901, one of the speakers said: The most gallant figure of the Revolution to my mind is Colonel Magaw. After being held in captivity for four years, he returned to his old home and died 'here in January 1790. His funeral as described in a contemporary newspaper, was probably the largest and most imposing that had ever taken place in Carlisle Some time ago a ques tion arose as to whether he was buried in this grave yard or at Meeting House Springs, two miles away. In an able and carefully prepared paper on the subject recently published by Dr. Charles F. Himes, it is clearly proven that his remains are interred here. Although by some mischance there is nothing to indi cate their location.
