About This Book

The address recounts how a Connecticut settlement in the Susquehanna valley came under competing colonial charters and later Pennsylvania governance, and traces the rise of a local military organization formed to defend the isolated community. It details the regiment's origins, company structure, routine trainings, and service during the colonial and Revolutionary eras, situating its actions amid frontier danger, territorial dispute, and historians' previous omissions. The speaker compiles documentary evidence, maps, and illustrations to reconstruct the regiment's activities, officers, and engagements and to reassess their contribution to regional military history.
