Pell's Point Battlefield

The site of the October 18, 1776 delaying action where Colonel John Glover's Marblehead regiment held 4,000 British troops with four regiments, buying Washington ten days to reach White Plains. Pell's Point is in what is now the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx. The terrain is preserved within Pelham Bay Park and is one of the most underappreciated battlefield sites in the New York metropolitan area.
