Rifleman
4th Penn. Bn. - Wayne's,
Fort Ti.
1 August 1776
.
Little
remains to distinguish this Rifleman of Colonel Anthony Wayne's own unit
except his black cocked hat bound with yellow and his blue yarn stockings.
He has replaced his brown regimental coat with a buckskin hunting shirt
and his brogans with moccasins. He is armed with a Kentucky rifle and tamahawk.
The motto burned into the front of his shirt was no idle boast. (Liberty
or Death)
