Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Order Book of Fort Sullivan and Extracts From Journals of Soldiers in Gen. Sullivan´s Army Relating to Fort Sullivan at Tioga Point, Pennsylvania, 1779: Published at Suggestion of the the Tioga Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Compiled From Mss; In the Craft Collection, Tioga Point Historical Society After the unveiling of boulder, Oct. 3, 1903, there proved to be so much conjecture about Fort Sullivan that it was suggested extracts from journals should be published in one of our newspapers. Previous to the Newtown Centennial all these journals had been collected and copied by Rev. David Craft, and in 1897 he deposited the Mss. in our museum, with a copy of the order book, obtained in 1879, from the grandson of the Orderly. It was therefore decided to embody in one pamphlet the order book, never before published; and the extracts (though long since printed in "General Sullivan s Indian Expedition"). The whole will be valuable for reference at least to the inhabitants of old Tioga, and interesting, we hope, to all the Chapters of Daughters of the American Revolution along Sullivan´s route. On account of repetition some extracts are omitted. The copy of portrait of Sullivan was presented to the Tioga Point Historical Society by Mr. Charles F. Murray in 1897. The original is now in the possession of Wyoming Historical Society. The picture showing Sullivan´s house at Durham. N. H., and his monument was obtained by the kindness of Mrs. W. H. H. Gore, member of Tioga Chapter, D. A. R., and of Historical Society. The sketch of Tioga Point and fort, which was made originally by Lieut. Nukerck, was copied for this publication by Surveyor N. F. Walker. The original, hastily made, had but three block houses not at angles. As all the journals mention four and Nukerck´s sketch has proved misleading; in this sketch block houses are omitted.
