Wooster Street
David Wooster was a "lackluster" Revolutionary general who was killed in action. He led his Connecticut troops in the Battle of Harlem and the Battle of Long Island. While Wooster was adored by his undisciplined soldiers, he was considered inept by his fellow officers, including General Washington. Wooster died in a brief battle with the British at Ridgefield, Conn. on April 17, 1777. Congress voted to erect a monument to him, but never followed through. |
