Boot Monument, Revolutionary War memorial in Saratoga National Historical Park, US
A white marble monument featuring a howitzer barrel adorned with a military riding boot and two-star epaulette stands 4 feet tall.
The monument marks the location where Major General Benedict Arnold received severe injuries to his left leg during the Battle of Bemis Heights.
John Watts de Peyster commissioned this memorial in 1887 to acknowledge the military achievements without naming the commander who later betrayed the nation.
The monument sits at Stop 7 on the battlefield tour road within Saratoga National Historical Park, accessible from sunrise to sunset.
The inscription honors the unnamed commander as the most brilliant soldier of the Continental Army while omitting direct reference to Benedict Arnold.
