Where did Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley took water to the soldiers?
At the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse, in New Jersey, June 28, 1778. It was extremely hot that day, well over one hundred degrees. Many soldiers died of heatstroke. But the water Mary carried was not for drinking. Her husband was an artilleryman, part of a cannon crew. After the gun was fired a soldier had a sponge on a long wooden staff which he used to swab out the inside of the barrel. This extinguished any remaining burning material in the barrel from the previous shot, which kept the powder for the next shot from exploding while they were trying to reload to the gun. Obviously this was very important. The sponge had to be kept wet. When they got low on water in the sponge bucket, the soldiers would call "Molly, pitcher!" which was how she got her nickname.
