Where is Margaret Corbin? Hunt on for Revolutionary War hero's grave
By Cristina Corbin | Fox News
The real woman behind the legend of Molly Pitcher
Margaret Corbin was one of the first women to fight in the American Revolution; Bret Baier reports on the remarkable story of 'Captain Molly.'
From atop a makeshift fort high above the Hudson River, a young woman aimed a cannon at a mass of Hessian soldiers swarming up the steep, rocky slopes and fired. Her husband, a Patriot soldier, was just killed in battle and she stepped in to take his place.
Her name was Margaret Corbin.
At 24 years old, "Captain Molly” became one of the first women to fight in the American Revolution — and later the first woman to receive a life-long pension from Congress, making her the first female veteran of the United States. For decades, Corbin’s grave site at West Point — a granite monument within a sacred space of green — was honored by all who passed through the storied cemetery.
