Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Olde Vlster: An Historical and Genealogical Magazine; January 1910
He had left his wife and children near the river at New Windsor. On the approach to the Highlands of the British forces Mrs. Clinton had taken her children back from the river to what was known as The Square in Little Britain, and to the house of Mrs. Falls. Returning to the west Side of the Hudson Governor Clinton sought her there. His shattered and scattered troops followed him to the same place. The capture of the Highland forts occurred on the evening of October 6th, 1777. Governor Clinton made the house of Mrs. Falls his headquarters and during the succeeding few days assembled there all the men of the Continentals, the militia saved from the battle at the forts and the remaining militia of the region which had not been called out, or if called had not responded. He knew that the successful enemy had Kingston, the capital of the State, as his objective point and he was preparing for its defense.
