A special memorial was held recently at a cemetery on the coast of Maine, a tribute to a long-forgotten hero from the Battle of Plattsburgh. Dr. John Perkins Briggs was a young doctor onboard the flagship Saratoga during the battle who treated the dozens of sailors gravely wounded by the barrage of cannon fire. His descendants traveled thousands of miles from across the country to his gravesite in Maine to place a special medallion by his headstone.
