Description

Lieutenant John L. Hardenbergh’s notebook offers a vivid, day‑by‑day look at the 1779 Sullivan Expedition, when Continental forces moved through the western New York frontier. His entries detail the march, the hardships of camp, and the early clashes with the Iroquois nations, all framed by his own observations and the stark realities of war on the edge of the wilderness.

The volume is enriched with an introductory biography, extensive historical notes, and detailed battlefield maps of Newtown and the Groveland ambush. Selections from the journals of Majors Beatty and the Grants, as well as Colonel Dearborn, are woven in, providing multiple perspectives on the campaign’s first phases. Together, these materials give listeners a textured portrait of a pivotal, yet often overlooked, episode of the Revolutionary War.
