Summary |
"The Magazine of History with Notes and Queries, Vol. II, No. 5, November 1905" is a historical publication likely compiled during the early 20th century. This volume features various articles that delve into aspects of American history, particularly during the Revolutionary War period, highlighting specific events, figures, and cultural insights that have shaped the nation's past. The opening portion of this issue presents a preface and the first chapter of a piece regarding Sullivan's campaign against the Iroquois Indians in 1779. It outlines the motivations behind Congress's decision to dispatch General Sullivan to counter the increasing threat of Indian raids on American settlements following massacres at Wyoming and Cherry Valley. The narrative discusses the historical relationships between colonists and various Native American tribes while introducing Sullivan as a notable military leader tasked with a challenging expedition through the uncharted wilderness of what is now New York. Through a combination of military and local history, the text sets the stage for an exploration of this pivotal moment in the Revolutionary War. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
