Description: Brigade Marker--Learned’s Brigade Continental Army Valley Forge, December 19, 1777 - June 18, 1778 Baron de Kalb’s Division Major General Baron de Kalb Learned’s Brigade Brig. General Ebenezer Learned, Commanding 2nd Massachusetts Infantry Col. John Bailey Massachusetts Infantry Col. Michael Jackson 9th Massachusetts Infantry Col. James Wesson DESCRIPTION - Granite with bronze plaque. DONOR & DATE - The Valley Forge Park Commission under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 1908. HISTORICAL DATA - Brig. General Ebenezer Learned commanded three regiments in Major General Baron Johann de Kalb’s Division - These were the 2nd, 8th, and 9th infantry regiments of the Massachusetts Line. The brigade was sometimes referred to as Late Learned’s Brigade because Learned had resigned from his command before the brigade moved to Valley Forge and it was some time before his successor was named. Learned, himself, therefore, was not at Valley Forge.
