Major General John Sullivan’s March

On August 9 and October 4, 1779, Major General John Sullivan and his troops passed through Wesauking during the military expedition against the Six Nations. Lieutenant Colonel Adam Hubley of the Advance Guard of Sullivan’s Army wrote in his journal that the army’s achievements in extending its conquests so far would weigh significantly in the present politics of America and that time would declare their future good consequences, with ages to come celebrating the memory of a conquest whose real good effects posterity would particularly enjoy.
