* quote from George Washington
* stele,
battlefield map with troop positions,

* inscription:
Washington to the President of Congress
On the whole it may be said the day was unfortunate
rather than injurious. We sustained no material loss.
The enemy are nothing the better by the event and our
troops, who are not the least dispirited by it, have
gained what all young troops gain by being in actions.
