1776 BATTLE OF WHITE PLAINS


THE ACTION AT MILLER HILL

Four days after the Battle of White Plains, on November 1st, an engagement occurred between British and American forces at Miller Hill, north of Chatterton's Hill and west of Merritt Hill, and near General George Washington's headquarters at the Miller house, which was defended by the Americans and resulted in a British retreat. Some of the American redoubts on this steep hill have been restored.
