Anthony Wayne, known as "Mad Anthony" because of his bravado in leading troops into the Battle of Stony Point (July 16,1779), was an American Revolutionary War officer. He began as a Colonel in a Pennsylvania Regiment, and became a Brigadier General in February 1777. Wayne participated in numerous battles including Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point (for which he received a Congressional medal), and was with Washington at Valley Forge during the winter encampment of 1777-1778. General Wayne, upon hearing of Arnold's treason, brought troops to support West Point, and was at Yorktown in 1781.
