About This Book
The memoir traces Henry Ludington's family background and life, recounting his service in earlier colonial campaigns where he endured severe winter marches and led wounded men, his later colonial commissions, and his resignation amid political tensions. It follows his role in the Revolution as a militia leader, his involvement in intelligence and correspondence, and his civic activities after the war. Illustrated with portraits, maps, commissions, letters, and family relics, the work also surveys subsequent generations and preserves documentary facsimiles and local views.
