Ewald was in a Hessian Jager unit involved in the ambush of Nimham and his men in 1778. His sketch was accompanied by a vivid description of the Stockbridge fighters in his journal: “Their costume was a shirt of coarse linen down to the knees, long trousers also of linen down to the feet, on which they wore shoes of deerskin, and the head was covered with a hat made of bast. Their weapons were a rifle or a musket, a quiver with some twenty arrows, and a short battle-axe which they know how to throw very skillfully. Through the nose and in the ears they wore rings, and on their heads only the hair of the crown remained standing in a circle the size of a dollar-piece, the remainder being shaved off bare. They pull out with pincers all the hairs of the beard, as well as those on all other parts of the body.” (Image Credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockbridge_Militia) Portrait of Landlord Beverly Robinson, landlord of approximately 60,000 acres in Putnam County.
