Gen. James Clinton camps on Otsego Lake
Gen. James Clinton reports his progress from Camp at South End of Otsego Lake. "I left Conojoharie the 1st of July...now at this place with...about 2000 men...and 25 Indians...all healthy and in high spirits...two hundred and eight boats...all the stores, provisions and baggage of the army...thrown a dam across the outlet." Author Clarke T. Wood, remarks in his book, 'The Bloody Mohawk,' “…(Clinton's) transportation of his entire army and navy over the hills from Canajoharie to Otsego Lake was one of the outstanding military feats of all times.”
