The heat at Monmouth did what enemy fire could not: one by one, it beat the strongest men on the field. Among them was Mary’s husband, William Hays, overcome at his cannon — and his gun fell silent.

A silent cannon was a gap in the line, and gunners were too few to spare. This lesson tells the moment the whole story turns on: William down, the gun crew waiting, and Mary standing closer to that cannon than anyone else on the field. What happened next became the most famous moment of her life.
