[Tablet on South Side of Monument]
Here the Battle of Oriskany was fought
On the sixth day of August, A.D. 1777
Here British invasion was checked and thwarted
Here General Nicholas Herkimer, intrepid leader
Of the American forces tho' mortally wounded
Kept command of the fight, till the enemy fled.
The life-blood of more than two hundred
Patriot heroes made this battle ground
Sacred forever.


[Tablet on the East Side of Monument]
Herkimer Directing the Oriskany Battle.
