Forward 4 1979 marked the 200th anniversary of the Sullivan-Clinton expedition against those Iroquois nations that allied themselves with Britain and the Loyalists during the American Revolution. It is a little-understood (more often misunderstood) military incursion with diplomatic, economic, and decided geo-political consequences. Unfortunately, most people, including most municipal historians, know little about the expedition beyond what is recorded on roadside markers. In 1929, during the sesquicentennial celebrations of the American Revolution, the states of New York and Pennsylvania established a special commission that produced a booklet, sponsored local pageants, and erected many commemorative tablets in both states.

  • Dear Friend and Fellow History Buff
    PLEASE PRING THESE ENTIRE FIVE PAGES. THE LAST TWO PAGES MUST BE MAILED IN TO SECURE YOUR RESERVATION. Dear Friend and Fellow History Buff: We’ve saved the best for last. Autumnal New England. Glorious fall foliage, the colors splashed against mountain ranges carpeted by hickory, maple, and the sweet gum. The days are warm – most of the time – the evening air is crisp — and the landscape dotted with villages as stylized as a Grandma Moses painting. Which reminds me: among half a dozen places we’ve never visited before is the acclaimed Bennington Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of Moses’ work. It’s just one of the sites that make this fall’s “A Presidential Tour of New York, New England & the Hudson Valley” (October 1 – 10, 2016) a combination of old favorites and such first-time attractions as Washington Irving’s Sunnyside estate; the newly renovated FDR Library and Museum; the Ground Zero Memorial and 9/11 Memorial Museum; and the Concord Museum, home to an original Paul Revere lantern, not to mention Emerson’s study and the contents of Thoreau’s famous cabin at nearby Walden Pond. I needn’t remind you that our hotels – most booked for two or even three night stays – are the cream of the crop. Likewise, we’ll be dining at such celebrated institutions as Sylvia’s Soul Food in Harlem, Boston’s Union Oyster House (JFK’s favorite), the world-famous Culinary Institute of America, and the legendary Durgin Park in the shadow of a teaming Quincy Market (we’ve been careful to set aside free time in Boston to allow those so inclined to shop till they drop).

It is used because it so eloquently summarizes the feelings of all the Indians consulted. Cover Photo: View of Oriskany Battlefield with the 1884 monument to the rebels and their allies. 1996. Photograph by Joy Bilharz. ExEcuTivE SuMMARy The Mohawk Valley Battlefield Ethnography Project was designed to document the relationships between contemporary Indian peoples and the events that occurred in central New York during the mid to late eighteenth century. The particular focus was Fort Stanwix, located near the Oneida Carry, which linked the Mohawk and St. Lawrence Rivers via Wood Creek, and the Oriskany Battlefield. Because of its strategic location, Fort Stanwix was the site of several critical treaties between the British and the Iroquois and, following the American Revolution, between the latter and the United States. This region was the homeland of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy whose neutrality or military support was desired by both the British and the rebels during the Revolution. The Battle of Oriskany, 6 August 1777, occurred as the Tryon County militia, aided by Oneida warriors, was marching to relieve the British siege of Ft.
