'''Monmouth''' is a county in [[New Jersey]] located in the [[Frontier]].

==History==
During the [[American Revolutionary War]], the farmers [[Warren]] and [[Prudence]] lived in Monmouth when the [[British Army]] came demanding their entire yield. Warren refused, and the troops responded by killing their animals, salting their land and assaulting them. The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] noticed and promptly fought off the soldiers, and brought them to live on the [[Davenport Homestead]].

At some point during the war, Connor captured [[Fort Monmouth]] for the [[Continental Army]]. He also warned [[George Washington]] that the British were planning to march from [[Philadelphia]] to [[New York City]], allowing them to plan an attack from [[Valley Forge]]. The [[Patriots]] won the [[Battle of Monmouth]], despite an attempt by [[Charles Lee]] to order a retreat to make Washington appear foolish. Connor exposed Lee's ploy, and Lee was subsequently court-martialed.

Four years later, in 1782, Connor followed Lee to the aptly-named [[Last Drink]] tavern in Monmouth. The two men, both exhausted and wounded from their previous confrontation in [[Boston]], sat down and shared a drink before Connor finished Lee off.
