The historical site I decided to visit was the General Enoch Poor statue at the intersection of Church St and Court St. in Hackensack NJ. Enoch Poor was a general during the Revolutionary War and he led a group of soldiers out of New Hampshire. This statue commemorates Poor and role in Revolutionary War history. He died near Hackensack on "September 8th, 1780, he is believed to have died of Typhoid fever" although there is conflicting evidence that "suggests he died in a duel", (RWNJ). The plaque on his statue states that he "rendered signal service at many battles especially Stillwater, Saratoga, Newtown, and Monmouth", (RWNJ). Even Washington shortly after his death wrote that "he was an officer of distinguished merit who as a citizen and a soldier had every claim to the esteem of his country", (RWNJ). He was buried in Hackensack at the "First Reformed Chruch Cemetry" near his statue.
