The Battle of Paulus Hook was fought on August 19, 1779 between Continental Army and British forces in the American Revolutionary War. The Patriots were led by Major Light Horse Harry Lee, and launched a nighttime raid on the British-controlled fort in what is today downtown Jersey City. They surprised the British, taking 158 prisoners, and withdrew with the approach of daylight. Despite retaining the fort and its cannons, the British lost much of their control over New Jersey. Lee was rewarded by the Second Continental Congress with a gold medal, the only non-general to receive such an award during the war.

  • Сражение при Паулус-Хук (Battle of Paulus Hook), — сражение американской Войны за независимость, в ходе которого 19 августа 1779 года американский отряд под командованием майора Генри Ли совершил внезапное ночное нападение на британский форт. Ли застал противника врасплох, захватил 158 пленных и отступил до восхода солнца. Англичане сохранили форт и орудия, но потеряли контроль над территорией Нью-Джерси. Конгресс постановил наградить Ли золотой медалью, и он стал единственным офицером в звании ниже генерала, получившим такую награду. (ru)
  • Bitwa o Paulus Hook – starcie zbrojne, które miało miejsce 19 sierpnia 1779 pomiędzy wojskami zbuntowanych kolonistów amerykańskich a armią brytyjską i było jedną z bitew wojny o niepodległość Stanów Zjednoczonych. Patrioci, prowadzeni przez majora "Light Horse Harry'ego", przypuścili niespodziewany nocny atak na kontrolowany przez Brytyjczyków fort stojący w miejscu, w którym obecnie znajdują się przedmieścia Jersey City. Amerykanie wzięli 158 jeńców, ale musieli się wycofać z fortu przed nastaniem świtu. Wprawdzie Brytyjczycy odzyskali fort i znajdujące się w nim działa, ale utracili kontrolę nad większością prowincji New Jersey. (pl)
