This day in 1776 saw the British and Patriot forces fight it out in the Revolutionary war at Harlem Heights. The battle is notable in that during the fight when the Americans were retreating the Redcoats played a fox-hunting call on a horn which so riled the Patriots that they were reinvigorated and held firm. This wonderful photograph is from the 33rd Foot's website and though showing White Plains I think given the built up nature of Harlem now you will forgive its use. Besides it's one of the best reenactment photos I have seen and the 33rd were at Harlem Heights along with the 42nd and Regiment Von Donop
