The Battle of Groton Heights - A Story of the Storming of Fort Griswold, and the Burning of New London, on the Sixth of September, 1781 #271022

Thus the Groton Monument stands to-day as a Shrine, to which all who dwell beneath its Shadow may often turn, or to which they may welcome those who, as pilgrims, shall visit it to learn or to recall the cherished names and mighty deeds of those brave men, to whom it has been erected as a constant and enduring memorial.
