Putnam's escape at Horse Neck. During the Revolutionary War, at the Battle of Horse Neck, General Israel Putnam made a daring escape (seen here) from the British on February 26, 1779. Although British forces pillaged the town, Putnam was able to warn Stamford. The general's tricorn hat, with a bullet hole piercing its side, is displayed at ""Putnam's cottage"", the tavern belonging to Israel Knapp, where Putnam stayed the night before his famous ride.
