General John Stark was New Hampshire's greatest Revolutionary War hero. At the Battle of Bennington on August 16th, 1777, Stark defied General George Washington's wishes and confronted a combined British, German and Native American force. Stark's forces were victorious, securing the city of Bennington and contributing to the eventual surrender of Britain's General John Burgoyne. It was Stark who in July of 1809, in ill health and unable to attend a reunion of the battle, sent along his regrets and a toast containing the phrase "Live Free or Die", which now stands as the New Hampshire state motto.
