The battle occurred after\na fleet of nine British ships, carrying 400 British and Loyalist troops, attacked the trading port of\nChestnut Neck in Little Egg Harbor in southern Ocean County. Chestnut Neck had been an\nimportant port for American privateers, and also a busy trading center through which a large\nvolume of supplies bound for Washington’s army went through during the encampment at Valley\nForge. Forewarned of the attack, much of the town’s citizens and militia were able to retreat,\nallowing the British to recapture only a small number of supplies while torching the village.\n URL:https://www.afhmus.org/events/on-this-date-october-6-1778-battle-of-chestnut-neck/ CATEGORIES:General Event,On this day END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
