It's about six miles southeast of modern day Elmira, NY. 29 Aug 79 Joseph Brant set an ambush for the Sullivan expedition. Morgan's Riflemen in the advance guard spotted them, and the Americans outflanked them and charged bayonets. Col. Reid's 2nd NH was almost wiped out by a ferocious counter-attack, but was saved by Dearborn and a couple of NY regiments. The most famous thing to come out of the battle was an immortal journal entry of Lt. Wm Barton of NJ, relating the skinning of two indians from their hips down to make boots, one pair for the major and one for himself.
