INTRODUCTION 
 
 If abundance of historic vicissitudes and varieties of 
 being could make a district happy, Acadia in its first 
 two centuries would be supremely blessed among 
 American provinces. Of all the colonies in the western 
 Hemisphere, — English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, 
 Dutch, Swedish, — none approaches it for the number 
 of oscillations in its ownership, and the sweeping 
 changes in its conditions of inhabitance. Six times in 
 less than a century it was conquered and given back, 
 wiped out of existence and resettled, or transferred 
 from one private lord to another. Within another half- 
 century it was largely depopulated by a military 
 measure strange to this continent, though not to others ; 
 to be again repeopled by its old inhabitants, who were 
 shortly swamped bj^ a new immigration of refugees 
 from its lifelong colonial enemy, torn by a revolution 
 from its ancient national enemy, now its mistress. Of 
 all these changes. Port Roj'^al, now Annapolis, bore the 
 brunt and was the head, carrying the control of the 
 colony with it. 
 
 For the major part of this, the reason is clear. Its 
 position among colonies was unique. It was a seaboard 
 outlier of a i)ower which always lost the control of the 
 sea during a war with the owner of its rival colonies, 
 yet whose European position long enabled it to reclaim 
 its lost children at the end of every war. It was the 
 river-mouth guard of an inland colony which was only 
 
[ 2 ] 
 
 to be reached by first seizing its gate-keeper. It was 
 a first-rate privateering station, and excellent centre 
 for supply and incitement of Indian raids on its nearest 
 colonial neighbors, in whose minds therefore its capture 
 was always at the forefront. But it had internal con- 
 ditions also which created its two most picturesque 
 episodes. It was the seat of a valuable fur-trade, which 
 generated a violent struggle between a royal grantee 
 and an adventurous "squatter," still famous. It had 
 a much paternalized French Catholic population, which 
 at once kept away the free English settlers that made 
 the growth of the other colonies, and remained still 
 obedient French instruments under English sway, a 
 sure warrant of ruin. 
 
 Planted first by De Monts and Poutrincourt in 1604, 
 Port Royal was exterminated with all its coast fellows 
 by Argall in 1613. The peninsula was held by a few 
 wanderers under Biencourt and his lieutenants the 
 La Tours; the town was conquered for England and 
 replanted with a Scotch colony by the Huguenot David 
 Kirke in 1629, and the whole returned to France in 
 1632. The royal grantee Razilly left it to D'Aunay in 
 1635; and from 1638 to 1646 the latter carried on 
 internecine war with the younger La Tour for over- 
 lapping grants, and finally for the whole and La Tour's 
 liberty and perhaps life, which ended in D'Aunay's 
 victory and the death of La Tour's heroic consort. But 
 four years later D'Aunay died; and La Tour at once 
 obtained a royal pardon and grant of the whole. Con- 
 quered a second time for England under Cromwell, by 
 his old general now Major Robert Sedgwick of Massa- 
 
[ 3 ] 
 
 chusetts, it was again restored at the Treaty of Breda 
 in 1667. Conquered a third time for England by Sir 
 William Phips in 1690, it was a third time given back 
 at the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697. Conquered a fourth 
 time for England by General Francis Nicholson in 
 1710, — the subject of this diary, — it was not given 
 back, though old Louis XIV. made the most despairing 
 efforts to retain it. In its place arose the fortress of 
 Louisbourg, which a sardonic fate might well have 
 induced France to build as a Greek gift to her enemy 
 England. But that power had been fighting not for 
 Acadia, but against France ; as conversely had France. 
 -The province was substantially forgotten and left 
 pretty much to its own devices, the people to priestly 
 intrigue which kept them French in allegiance. And 
 when the final struggle came with France, the English 
 government could only undo its many years' laches, 
 and secure its eastern frontier by making a desert of its 
 own province. 
 
 The first expedition on which our diarist went, that 
 which finally made Acadia English, was toward the 
 close of Queen Anne's War, the American portion of 
 the War of the Spanish Succession. In this colonial 
 war the French had two main objects in view: the one 
 of direct military importance, the other indirect and 
 to keep their tools in condition. The first was to strike 
 at New York and Boston and destroy the colonial com- 
 merce, as well as to secure the control of the West; 
 the second was to keep the Indians embroiled with the 
 provincials, and prevent their drifting into peaceful 
 relations which would cut the ground from under the 
 
[ 4 ] 
 
 French. The latter motive was the source of expedi- 
 tions of mere ravage and murder, like the massacre at 
 Deerfield in 1704, which had no military object. This 
 atrocity could not be avenged by the colonies attacking 
 Canada, imj)regnable in her forests; but Acadia could 
 be reached by the New-Englanders' chosen element, 
 the sea. The old Indian-fighter Benjamin Church at 
 once organized an expedition to break up that haunt 
 of privateers, and supply station for Indian raids on 
 New England; but was forbidden to attack Port 
 Royal, the only thing worth while and which alone 
 made the province formidable. None the less he 
 brought his little fleet before it and summoned it to 
 surrender; but his officers colonial and British refused 
 to attack, and he went home. 
 
 Three years later a joint New England force (except 
 from Connecticut) was dispatched against Port Royal 
 under Colonel Jolin March of Massachusetts, and 
 intrenched before it ; but there was no discipline among 
 the men or courage among the officers. One council 
 of war voted to withdraw, a second to bring up the 
 cannon and attack, a third again to raise the siege; 
 and after the men had demolished some outbuildings 
 under fire, with a spirit which showed that with leader- 
 ship an assault was hopeful, the armament drew off. 
 Reinforced, they again came up, landed, fought small 
 engagements for a week, and returned home, to be 
 mocked by the children in the street. 
 
 Two years later, in 1709, an expedition to conquer 
 all Canada was authorized by the English government, 
 on the persuasion of Captain Samuel Vetch, an expe- 
 
[ 5 ] 
 
 rienced Scotch soldier, one of the survivors of Paterson's 
 Darien colony, and son-in-law of Robert Livingston 
 of New York; now at Bo'ston in the Canadian trade. 
 The northern colonies were directed to raise 1500 men 
 (Connecticut's share 350) for an expedition by Lake 
 Champlain, under Colonel Francis Nicholson, ex-gov- 
 ernor of several colonies and late lieutenant-governor 
 of Xew York; and 1200 for one by the St. Lawrence, 
 capturing Port Royal on the way, with the aid of a 
 royal fleet and force. Nicholson's troops (to which 
 New Jersey and Pennsylvania had refused to con- 
 tribute) lay all summer in camp on Wood Creek, dying 
 like flies of dysentery brought on by heat, insects, and 
 unsanitary conditions. The St. Lawrence levies waited 
 at Boston. Four months after Vetch and Nicholson 
 had left England with the promise of the regulars and 
 fleet, the foreign secretary wrote to Governor Dudley 
 of ISIassachusetts that they had been sent to Portugal 
 instead; they were needed in Europe. This letter 
 reached America the 11th of October, when Nicholson's 
 force was hors de combat and the season for a campaign 
 was past. Yet even then all the New England gov- 
 ernors joined in an offer to send their forces against 
 Port Royal if the frigates at New York and Boston 
 would join; but the captains refused. 
 
 But New England was determined to be rid of Port 
 Royal. Nicholson, just starting for England, was 
 commissioned to tell the government that the colonists 
 would again assault the place the following year, if 
 they could have four frigates and five hundred regulars, 
 though sorely crippled in their finances by the strain 
 
[ 6 ] 
 
 of the war expeditions and border guards. The forces 
 were asked for the latter part of March; they arrived 
 in July. The colonies set vigorously at work to raise 
 their quotas and their supplies. Connecticut formed a 
 battalion of 300 men/ Massachusetts two of 450 each, 
 New Hampshire and Rhode Island jointly one of 300. 
 Five frigates and the Massachusetts provincial galley, 
 with from thirty to forty transports and supply ves- 
 sels, constituted the squadron, whose naval commander 
 was Sir Charles Hobby. Sailing the 18th of Septem- 
 ber, six days later it anchored in Port Royal Harbor, 
 and the next day landed nearly 2000 men before a fort 
 containing perhaps 300, besides some armed civilians. 
 
 The garrison seems to have felt hopeless from the 
 start in face of such overwhelming odds; and both 
 regulars and civilians began to skulk out of the lines 
 and disappear long before the siege artillery was in 
 
 ^ It had already selected its officers: Colonel, Col. William 
 Whiting; Lieutenant-Colonel, Lt.-Col. Matthew Allyn, or in case 
 of his declining, Major Ebenezer Johnson; Major, Captain John 
 Burr; Captain, Lt. Roger Newton of Milford; (why only one, 
 cannot be guessed;) Lieutenants, Lts. Jonathan Belden of Wethers- 
 field, Wm. Adams of Milford, John Clark of Stratford, John Hall 
 of Wallingford, Samuel Webster of Hartford (brother to the great- 
 great-grandfather of Noah Webster), William Crocker of New 
 London, John Gardner of Stonington, with Richard Miles of New 
 Haven and Samuel Keelar, Jr. of Norwalk; commissary, Chris- 
 topher Christophers ; chaplain, Samuel Whittlesey of Wallingford, 
 who apparently declined to serve and was replaced by Rev. Mr. 
 Buckingham, the diarist, on appointment by the Governor and 
 Council; "chirurgeons," James Laborie and Samuel Mather. It 
 also voted <£50 towards sea stores. 
 
[ 7 ] 
 
 place, and when the only firing was from the English 
 bomb-ketch, to which the cannon of the fort made fair 
 reply. Subercase, the commander, was a veteran with 
 a good record, and had recently declined reinforce- 
 ments; but he felt no call to be a martjT, any more 
 than Cornwallis at Yorkto^Mi or Stoessel at Port 
 Arthur. When the preparations for bombardment 
 were nearly completed, and the intrenclmients solidly 
 established within 400 yards, he asked leave to send 
 the ladies in the fort to Nicholson's camp for protection 
 from the shells. Xicholson acceded, but Subercase 
 offered to capitulate instead. Xicholson waited another 
 da}^ until the siege artillery was efficiently placed, and 
 then formally demanded surrender. By the next day 
 (Oct. 2/13), terms were settled: the garrison to be 
 carried to France, and the inhabitants for tliree miles 
 around to remain on taking an oath of fidelity. Three 
 days later the evacuation was effected. The 258 
 French soldiers who had not deserted were replaced 
 with 200 British marines and 250 provincials who 
 volunteered; Vetch was made governor of Acadia; 
 Port Royal was re-named Annapolis Royal; and the 
 Acadian kaleidoscope took its last turn for nearly half 
 a century. But Isle Royale (Cape Breton) became a 
 new Acadia, to the same effect, and in turn was con- 
 quered, to be anew given back to France, and anew and 
 finally repossessed. If it be counted a part of the 
 original Acadia, its sliiftings add still another pair of 
 oscillations to those of the greater section. 
 
 The success of this expedition stimulated a fresh 
 attempt of the English government for the conquest 
 
[ 8 ] 
 
 of Canada, to which other influences lent weight. The 
 popular irritation with the drain of the great war and 
 with the INIarlborough clique had enabled the Tories 
 to overturn his Wliig administration; and using part 
 of his best troops to annex New France would accom- 
 plish two great ends at once, — balance his resounding 
 European victories by a vastly more fruitful American 
 one, and cripple liis power of winning more by depleting 
 his forces. The plan, aside from the personal aims, 
 was statesmanlike, but the curse of jobbery was upon 
 it, -as upon the early part of the later Seven Years' 
 War. Five of Marlborough's veteran regiments were 
 taken, with two other good ones; but in command was 
 placed "Jack" Hill, brother of Queen Anne's favorite 
 ]Mrs. Masham, — a court hanger-on with neither parts, 
 courage, nor experience, but made a brigadier-general, 
 and thought good enough to win an American cam- 
 paign. The naval command was given to a bird of the 
 same mental and moral feather but longer in service, — 
 Sir Hovenden Walker, jobbed into the naval service 
 long enough before to have nominal experience. They 
 were to ascend the St. Lawrence and capture Quebec, 
 while Nicholson as before was to operate by Lake 
 Champlain. New York and New England again 
 strained themselves, and Nicholson planted himself and 
 about 2300 white men and Indians in wooden shelters 
 at Wood Creek, waiting for the word from the naval 
 force to advance. 
 
 The word he received was that the expedition was an 
 utter "fluke," partly from accident, but chiefly from 
 the unmanly cowardice and meanness of spirit of the 
 
[ 9 ] 
 
 commanders. The only officer on board with the pluck 
 of a man, Vetch, commanding the provincials, was not 
 listened to. There were no pilots who understood the 
 St. Lawrence, but that was nothing new, and had not 
 prevented fleets like Phips' from reaching Quebec 
 before. A captured French captain was impressed as 
 a pilot, and entertained himself and served his country 
 by telling such horrible stories about the arctic winters 
 at Quebec that the commanders were half mad with 
 fright. Walker was convinced that if they ever arrived, 
 they should be worse than ice-bound; the river would 
 freeze to the bottom and crush the ships in pieces, and 
 the soldiers and crews in the midst of vast snow-drifts 
 would resort to cannibalism. The French pilot let the 
 others run the fleet on the north shore when they 
 thought it the south, where the river is seventy miles 
 wide ( !) ; ten transports and supply vessels were 
 wrecked, and towards a thousand lives lost. But the 
 expedition numbered nearlj'^ 12000, — some 6100 regu- 
 lars and marines and 1500 provincials, besides artillery- 
 men, with nine war ships and over sixty transports and 
 other vessels and their crews; the losses had not been 
 more than a day's hard fighting would cost, and left 
 the expedition still so strong that the slender force at 
 Quebec could hardly have held out a fortnight. But 
 the heads were anxious only for an excuse to go home. 
 Vetch offered to take the fleet to Quebec; the other 
 captains would not hear to the experiment — they were 
 not required to be braver than their chiefs. Vetch pro- 
 tested with vigor; but to no purpose. The fleet 
 returned to anchorage at Cape Breton, and word was 
 
[ 10 ] 
 
 sent to Nicholson, who tore off and stamped on his wig 
 and yelled with rage, but could only burn his barracks 
 and disband his army, save a small force to guard the 
 frontiers. France shortly occupied the Champlain 
 country and built Louisbourg, to guard against the 
 double danger to Canada from the east and south. 
 
 The diarist, Rev. Thomas Buckingham, was the 
 grandson of Thomas, who came to Boston in 1637 with 
 Eaton, Hopkins, Davenport, and Prudden, removed 
 with them to New Haven, and in 1639 to Milford; 
 where his son, our subject's father, was elder of the 
 church and sergeant of militia. The diarist, born 
 March 1, 1671, graduated at Harvard in 1690, and in 
 1694 was appointed pastor of the Second Church at 
 Hartford, in succession to its first minister. Rev. John 
 Whiting. Shortly afterward he married the daughter 
 of the late pastor of the First Church, Isaac Foster. 
 His ministry lasted thirty-seven years; and if he can- 
 not be styled an intellectual leader, he seems to have 
 been a fair mate for the average upper ranks of the 
 ministry in his time. He approved the Saybrook Plat- 
 form ; and as might be expected, disapproved the slight 
 drift toward Episcopacy, which established an Anglican 
 communion in Connecticut. When the change in loca- 
 tion of the inchoate Yale College from Saybrook was 
 mooted, he with the other Hartford minister (of the 
 First Church), Rev. Timothy Woodbridge, advocated 
 its establishment at Hartford; and when it was finally 
 placed at New Haven, both let their disappointment 
 overbalance their temper and judgment. They sup- 
 
[ 11 ] 
 
 ported eagerly the attempt to maintain an opposition 
 college at Wethersfield ; and when elected Representa- 
 tives to the Assembly in 1719, were not allowed to take 
 their seats on the ground of disrespectful language or 
 accusations. This at least is true of Mr. Woodbridge ; 
 and as Mr. Buckingham likewise did not take his seat, 
 it probably includes him also. But this soon passed, 
 and two sons of the Rev. Mr. Buckingham graduated 
 at Yale. 
 
 Mr. Buckingham was chaplain in both the Port Royal 
 expedition of 1710 and the Wood Creek expedition 
 of 1711, to which his diaries relate. The reprint here 
 given is not from the original MS., which is hopelessly 
 lost, but from a pamphlet print of 1825, whose editing 
 does no gi'eat credit to the original editor. Besides 
 some obviously gross and needless errors, corrected in 
 the notes to this edition, and other probable ones, there 
 are omissions which might conceivably have been sup- 
 plied. We reprint also the pamphlet introductions by 
 the former editor.

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 The Diaries from which the following extracts are 
 made, were written by JNIr. Buckingham, Minister of 
 the second presbyterian church in Hartford, Connect- 
 icut, during the expeditions against Canada, in 1710 
 and 1711, undertaken by the Colonies at the order of 
 Queen Anne. The orthography in the following pages 
 is generally modernized. 
 
[ 13] 
 
 An expedition had been formed in the year 1709 
 against Montreal and Quebec, for which nearly 3000 
 men were furnished in quotas by the Colonies, but it 
 had entirely failed, because the English fleet and troops 
 which were intended to cooperate, were unexpectedly 
 despatched to Portugal. The troops suffered much by 
 sickness, but never came into action. 
 
 On account of the frontiers being continually 
 harassed by parties of French and Indians, the Colonies 
 were extremely urgent that another attempt should be 
 made to conquer Canada; and General Nicholson and 
 Colonel Schuyler went to England in the latter part of 
 the year 1709, to solicit the permission and assistance 
 of the government. These were granted ; although the 
 government really meditated nothing further than the 
 capture of Port Royal and Nova Scotia, and actually 
 accomplished only the former. It is hardly necessary 
 to mention, that it is not the importance of the facts, 
 but the liints of the situation of the country, which 
 have induced the publication of these diaries. 
 
 In July, 1710, news was received that Lord Shannon 
 was under sailing orders for America, and on the 18th 
 of September, a fleet of 36 ships of war and transports, 
 part of which had been sent over from England, 
 sailed from Nantasket for Port Royal. In these were 
 embarked all the regular troops which had arrived, 
 together with the soldiers furnished by several of the 
 Colonies. Fourteen transports were furnished by 
 Massachusetts, 5 by Connecticut, 2 by New Hampshire, 
 and 3 by Rhode Island; and General Nicholson was 
 invested with the chief command. 
 
[ 14 ] 
 
 Our author accompanied the expedition as chaplain 
 to the Connecticut troops. On the 24th of September, 
 they arrived at Port Royal, and on the 21st of the 
 following month they began a fire upon the fort, from 
 three batteries of two mortars and twenty-four cohorns. 
 The Star bomb-ship at the same time threw shells 
 among the enemy. 
 
 The circumstances attending the expedition up to 
 this period appear to be detailed with minuteness in 
 the diary before us ; but as the first part of it is written 
 in a cypher difiicult to understand, it will be sufficient 
 for the present to publish only that which is legible, 
 and which begins with the capitulation of the fort.

 October 2} Monday, Hostages exchanged between 
 the camp and fort. Those on our part were Colonel 
 Reading and Capt. Matthews ; on the French side were 
 the Deputy Governor and Commissary. 
 
 One of the Falmouth's men unfortunately killed by 
 his fellow, as they were shooting at swine. Capt. 
 Fatherly, commander of one of our transports, who 
 had been out on a cruize, brought in hither thirteen 
 men taken by a French privateer, and set on shore at 
 the mouth of this harbor. 
 
 5. Thursday. The garrison marched out with the 
 usual marks of honor: drums beating, colours flying, 
 &c. about four o'clock afternoon, at what time a 
 detachment from the several regiments marched into 
 the fort, and took possession of it. The rest of the 
 army returned to their camp. The union flag being 
 hoisted, the cannon of the fort and men of war were 
 discharged. 
 
 ^O. S. The New Style was not adopted by England till 1752. 
 
[ 18 ] 
 
 9. Monday. Our troops, excepting those that are 
 to keep garrison here this winter, were embarked in 
 order to their being transported into their own country. 
 
 The Summons sent into the Fort. 
 Francis Nicholson, Esq. General and Commander in 
 Chief of all her Majesty's of Great Britain's forces 
 now before Port Royal, 
 
 To 
 Monsieur Subercase, Knight of the military order of 
 St. Louis, &c. Governor for the French King of 
 L'Acadie and Port Royal. 
 
 You are hereby required and commanded to deliver 
 up to me for the Queen of Great Britain the Fort now 
 in your possession, as what of right belongs to her 
 now said Majesty, together with all the territories 
 under your command, by virtue of an undoubted right 
 of her Royal predecessor; and that together with all 
 cannon, mortars, magazines of war, and troops under 
 your command; otherwise I shall endeavor to reduce 
 forthwith the same by force of her majesty's arms. 
 Given under my hand and seal this first day of October, 
 in the ninth year of the reign of our Sovereign Queen 
 Anne, by the Grace of God Queen of Great Britain, 
 France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith. Anno 
 Domini 1710. 
 
 Nicholson. 
 
 The Answer, done in English, &c. 
 Sir: I have just now received by one of j^our Colonels 
 and another officer of your army, a summons to sur- 
 
[ 19 ] 
 
 render unto you the fort which my King hath left 
 under my care, and that upon a pretence which I believe 
 is not well grounded ; nevertheless, to avoid the effusion 
 of blood, and expecting the decision of your pretended 
 right, (which without doubt shall have its place in its 
 time,) I will hear the proposal of an honorable and 
 advantageous capitulation, which I know how to make 
 good by a vigorous defence, which all my officers desire : 
 for that purpose, Sir, you may choose two of your 
 officers, and I shall give as many of mine, whom I 
 shall send into the camp, if you send me a good pass- 
 port and some hostages, so that I may treat with surety, 
 and to whom I shall give a project of my pretences. 
 Sir, this is all I can saj^ to you at present ; and I finish 
 in assuring you that I am your most humble and 
 obedient servant: 
 
 SUBERCASE.

 Nicholson. ' Subercase. 
 
 General Nicholsons Instructions to Major Livingston.^ 
 Sir: If, upon your arrival at Canada,* you find it 
 consistent with her Majesty's immediate service, make 
 all possible despatch back again to New England to me ; 
 and if I am embarked for Great Britain, take the first 
 passage, and come over land \_Sic~\ to give an account 
 of your errand, and what may be for the public service. 
 However, write to me by all possible conveyances of 
 all things relating to the affair j^ou go upon. 
 
 Given under my hand at Annapolis Royal, this 
 16th October, in the 9th year of her majesty's 
 reign, 1710, 
 
 Fr. Nicholson. 
 
 October 19, Thursday 1710. This morning at four 
 o'clock the signal was given to unmoor; about six we 
 weighed and towed out of the harbour. We were here 
 
 * Of the Connecticut forces. 
 
 ■* To announce the news officially to the Government at Quebec. 
 
[ 22 ] 
 
 awhile becalmed till about noon, when an easy gale 
 sprung up, and gently wafted us across the bay to 
 [Grand Manan], over against which lay the Wolves, 
 being per Ettinalern^ fourteen leagues from the 
 entrance of Annapolis Royal harbor. The weather was 
 fair and pleasant and the sea unusually smooth. Our 
 pilot, who had often sailed, told us he never knew it 
 so before. A great smile of Providence. We made the 
 opening between Grand [JNIanan] and the place called 
 the Wolves in good season, and stood under our course 
 at night, steering West-south-west, and the wind being 
 East and by South, blow^ing very fresh; the night rainy 
 and the sea unquiet and much agitated. 
 
 20. Friday. This morning we were abreast of long 
 island, wliich lieth about 8 leagues west^ of Mount 
 Desert ; having run, as is concluded, thirty leagues last 
 night. We spied five sail ahead of us; one of which is 
 our briganteen, Moses Mansfield master. The rest, 
 part of our fleet (open sloops). Before sunset two 
 others came up with us. We all put into the South- 
 west harbour, at the Isle of Holt,"^ which is westward 
 twenty-five leagues from Granmenen, said to be half 
 way by the shortest passage between Annapolis Royal 
 and Nantuchet. 
 
 21. Saturday. Early this morning we left the Isle 
 of Holt,^ under a fresh gale. We soon came up with 
 Malinisns,^ an island distant four leagues from thence. 
 
 ^ Evidently should be "Estimation." 
 
 ® South ; the author figures on a western course. 
 
 "^ Isle of au Haute. 
 
 ^ Matinicus. 
 
[ 23 ] 
 
 Soon after we made Mouhegan,® to which from Mali- 
 nisns® is reckoned ten leagues. At night came to an 
 anchor in Pemmaquid harbour, a little below the ruins 
 of the fort built here by the English. This is said to 
 be five leagues from Mouhegan^; so that we have run 
 20 leagues this da3\ The air thick and wet. We found 
 the briganteen and sloops that came with us from the 
 Isle of Holt J with fourteen or fifteen fishermen. 
 
 22. Sabbath. At anchor in Pemmaquid Harbour; 
 the wind against us and very strong — the weather dark 
 and very rainy, till about an hour bj'- sun at night, when 
 the wind began to shift, and the sky to open. 
 
 29. Monday. Continued at anchor as above. We 
 went on shore and view^ed the countrj^ on both sides 
 the river. On the south side stood the fort, the ruins 
 whereof^ '^ still remain. The land is well cloathed with 
 English grass, among wliich there grows great 
 quantities of wormwood and parsnips, with some apple 
 trees, but without fruit. North-east from the fort, we 
 met with several grave-stones, with some letters 
 engraven on them, particularly on one H. M. 1695; 
 near to which are three trenches of the Indians, made 
 when they landed. We crossed the river to the oppo- 
 site side for water. On both sides were plain paths, 
 made, as we judged by the Indians that inhabit or fre- 
 quent this place, with other evident tokens of their 
 having been very lately here. 
 
 24. Tuesday. Windbound at Penmiaquid. 
 
 ® Monhegan. 
 
 ^'^ Andros' fort of 1677, destroyed by the Indians in 1689; not 
 the old Popham fort, long vanished. 
 
[ 24 ] 
 
 25. Wednesday. This morning, or rather late last 
 night, the open sloops and shallops, in all twenty-one, 
 sailed out of this harbour. About ten the ships and 
 briganteen bound for New London weighed; but for 
 want of wind were obliged to anchor again about noon. 
 The wind freshened then, and we came to sail ; the wind 
 proving scanty, and the weather looking doubtful and 
 lowering, we tacked twice and stood in for Pemmaquid 
 harbour again; but about sun-down, the wind being 
 more large, it was resolved to put to sea. We had a 
 fresh gale and run per estimation, about 25 leagues. 
 
 26. Thursday. This morning, early, we made Ago- 
 menticus Hills, on our starboard bow, which is accounted 
 25 leagues to the west of Pemmaquid. The night was 
 clear and the sea smooth. 
 
 About 12 or 10 o'clock, we made Cape Ann^~; by 
 night were almost up with it: but not being able to 
 fetch it, resolve to .... it to windward. About 
 12 at night we parted from the briganteen. 
 
 27. Friday in the morning put into Cape Ann. In 
 the evening Lieutenant Cyp. NichoUs,^^ with about 
 fifty soldiers belonging to our regiment, came on shore, 
 in order to march home by land. They went out of 
 town a little after sun-set. 
 
 28. Saturday. Wind-bound in Cape Ann harbour. 
 
 29. Sabbath. At Cape Ann. I lodged at Mr. 
 White's. Preached 1st John, 3, 8 latter. 
 
 ^^ Gloucester. 
 
 ^^ Of Hartford, a parishioner of Mr. Buckingham's. 
 
[ 25 ] 
 
 30. Monday. Mr. Christophers^^ and myself, hav- 
 ing provided horses and a pilot, set out for Boston. 
 We passed through jSIanchester, (commonly called 
 Jeffrey's Creek, reckoned seven or eight miles from 
 Gloucester, or Cape Ann,) and Beverty, (seven miles 
 from thence, Mr. Blower minister, ) we crossed the ferry 
 to Salem for sixpence a-piece. Dined at Pratt's, paid 
 for ourselves, five in all, and our horse-meat, 7s. Id. 
 From hence we travelled 15 miles for Boston. A stone 
 set up at the end of each mile, ^vith figures marked on 
 both sides, signifj^ng the distance to and from those 
 extremes between Salem and Boston. In this road lie 
 the following to^\Tis: Ljmn, Rumle, jNIarsh.^^ We 
 arrived at Winnesimit^^ about an hour after sun-set, 
 (calling by the way at Lewis's,) here we paid our pilot, 
 (his father refusing to agi'ee with us, and referring the 
 matter to his son,) for his journey and the two horses 
 we rode upon, the sum of thirty shillings, which he 
 demanded — an unconscionable and extravagant price. 
 Quickly after we came liither, we look about, \^prohably 
 some omission,~\ and the wind being fair and blowing 
 fresh, had a quick and easy passage to Boston. 
 
 31. Tuesday. Lodged at Mr. Gosse's. 
 November 1. Went over to Roxbury. 
 
 2. Thursday. Lodged last night at Mr. Wallet's. 
 This day arrived here, one Lathrop, from the west- 
 ward, bringing the sad tidings of a ship driven ashore 
 on the back side of Cape Cod, all her masts gone. They

[ 26 ] 
 
 saw some men on shore — a sailor on board, said 
 Lathrop, concludes, it to be the Mary, galley, the big- 
 gest of Connecticut transports, belonging to Mr. Try- 
 land, Capt. Clark Commander. We left about thirty 
 people in her at Cape Ann. 
 
 3. Friday This morning our General, of 
 
 all men one of the most Generous, sent me per Mr, 
 Bertrand, Junior, the sum of fifty shillings, to bear my 
 expenses home. A liberal man studies liberal things. 
 
 6. Monday. Bought of Mr. Philips a bible, which 
 cost me 12 shillings. Paid to Mr. Campbell, post 
 master, seven shillings, being the arrearage due for the 
 year 1710. 
 
 7. Tuesday I [Took] my journey from 
 
 Boston about 8 in the morning. We came to Mr. Devo- 
 tion's at night. The way thus: we travelled from Bos- 
 ton to Dedham, 10 miles; from thence to Whites, 6; 
 from thence to Billings's, 6; from Billings's to Devo- 
 tions, 10. I paid for horse-meat at Fishers, fourpence; 
 at White's, a groat a^^iiece; and at Billings's, for our 
 dinner and oats, Is. which Mr. Deming paid. Weather 
 and ways dirty. Paid to Bennet, for keeping my horse, 
 from thursday to this morning, four shillings. 
 
 8. Wednesday. For myself and horse 16 at Devo- 
 tions. We mounted about sunrise, and travelled this 
 day to Irish's, about .... miles according to the 
 following estimation: From Devotions to Freeman's, 
 five; from thence to Whipples, where it cost me for 
 horse-meat and ferriage six pence; from thence to 
 Providence, five; from thence to Tanner's (where for 
 horse-meat 3d more,) five; from thence to Abbot's, 
 
[ 27 ] 
 
 two and half; from thence to Cooper's, eleven — here I 
 paid a shilling for oats and a dram, whereof six-pence 
 belonged to Mr. Denning; from Cooper's to White's, 
 3 miles. 
 
 9. Thursday. We travelled this day from Smiths 
 to Windliam. The distances between those places, thus 
 reckoned: from Smith's to Whitney's, at Planefield 
 four and an half; from thence to Cleaveland's, four; 
 from Cleaveland's to the river,^^ four; from the river 
 to the town, six — in all about nineteen miles. We paid 
 at Smith's for ourselves and horses 3s. 3d. the half of 
 it mine excepting a small matter for oats, that Mr. 
 D At Whitney's, our breakfast and horse- 
 meat, 19d. a very reasonable lay. At Cleaveland's, for 
 ferriage, oats and a quart of cyder, 12d. The two last 
 sums I paid, and so discounted with my companion. 
 
 10. Friday. I left two shillings at Mr. Webb's of 
 Windham, for the man (one Hybert,) that brought my 
 horse from Hartford; being what he demanded for 
 that service. I paid also to the same person two French 
 gi'oats for piloting us over the river, about five miles 
 from hence. Left Mr. Williams his horse in the hands 
 of the constable, to be conveyed to Mansfield. Got a 
 pair of old shoes set on my horse, one of which I had 
 of Mr. Webb, for which he demanded six-pence ; which 
 with half a pint of rum I had of him, he charged the 
 country with. 
 
 Returned to my own house about eight o'clock at 
 night, when I had the satisfaction of seeing mj^ family 
 in good health, (blessed be God,) after a long absence 
 from them.

A Diary of The 
 
 LAND EXPEDITION 
 
 Against 
 
 CROWN POINT 
 
 In The Year 1711. 
 
 INTRODUCTION 
 
 General Nicholson made another voyage to England 
 after the capitulation of Port Royal, to ask leave for 
 another expedition against Canada. The ministry 
 unexpectedly consented; and in June, 1711, a fleet 
 of twelve men of war arrived at Boston, but without 
 either pilots or provisions. The northern colonies, how- 
 ever, raised large supplies of provisions and men with 
 great promptitude; and on the 20 of July, the fleet, 
 under Admiral Walker, sailed for the St. Lawrence, 
 being encreased by the addition of three English ships 
 before on the coast, forty transports, six store ships, 
 and a heavy train of artillery and ammunition. 
 
 General Nicholson had the command of the army 
 which was assembled at Albany, and consisted of about 
 four thousand men furnished from the colonies. Colonel 
 Whiting commanded the Connecticut troops. Colonel 
 Schuyler those of New York, and Colonel Ingoldsby 
 those of New Jersey.

 These sent to Hartford to my wife, by Sergt. Worth- 
 ington, Sept. 8, 1710. 
 
 I sent home my silver seal, tobacco stopper, and 
 cartouch box, by Samuel Cole of Hartford. 
 
 Aug. 8. Wednesday. At 'New Haven. 
 
 9. Thursday. Thi'ee companies, viz: L. Colo. Liv- 
 ingston's, Major Burr's and Capt. Crane's, marched 
 out of New Haven, with whom went Mr. Edwards. 
 
 10. The rest of our troops marched out of this town. 
 
 13. jNIonday. We halted at Woodbury. 
 
 14. Tuesday. We went from thence to Sackets 
 farm. From Woodbury to this place may be reckoned 
 74 miles: 12 to ... . 12 to Swift river, 14 to the 
 fort. About a mile of the dwelling house is a river 
 very difficult to pass, by reason of the steepness of the 
 banks; and about a mile short of this is a very miry 
 place, which is avoided by winding round to the left. 
 My horse fell under me, and rolled on my left leg, but 
 without hurt. 
 
 15. Wednesday. We lodged at Dyckman's on the 
 manor. From Sacket's farm to this place is counted 32 
 miles. 
 
 16. Thursday. Lodged at Kenderhook, 29 distant 
 from the Bush . . . ., viz: 12 from thence to Claver- 
 ack, 12 more to this place. 
 
 17. Friday. We arrived at Greenbush about three 
 in the afternoon. From Kenderhook to this place they 
 coimt 29 miles. We passed a small river about midway. 
 Our course from Dickerman's hither is northerly, 
 through pine plains, for the most part a very good 
 road. 
 
[ 32 ] 
 
 19. Sabbath. Preached from Psalm 20, 3.— The 
 rest of Colonel Schuyler's regiment embarqued in the 
 evening upon battoes and stood for the flats. 
 
 21. Tuesday. Four companies of Colonel Ingolds- 
 by's regiment embarqued for the flats. The chaplains 
 were ordered a regimental suit, fusee, and accoutre- 
 ments. Accordingly Mr. Edwards and myself went 
 to the commissary and took them up. * * * 
 
 28. Thursday. The remainder of the regular 
 troops, encamped on the south river of Albany, struck 
 their tents, in order to their embarquing; but finding 
 their battoes very leaky, were obliged to pitch them 
 again.

 "Our advices from Poland import that Prince Galizzyn 
 had defeated a considerable body of Tartars, and taken 
 from them five thousand horses; that the Palatine of 
 S — via was missing, and according to the report in the 
 Muscovite army, among the slain ; that the Tartars are 
 retired to their own habitations, dissatisfied with their 
 expedition. 
 
 According to advices from Belgrade and .... 
 all the Cossacks have declared for the Muscovites, and 
 most of the Tartars volunteered to go to their own 
 habitations — that the INIuscovites had defeated the 
 Turks near Bender and pillaged the place. Her 
 majesty has been pleased to constitute and appoint 
 Col. Wm. Tayler, Adjutant General of the Massachu- 
 setts province." 
 
[ 33 ] 
 
 24. Friday. This day three of our companies, viz: 
 Capt Crane's, Capt. Wood's and Capt. Dimond's, 
 embarqued for Half Moon, including those who were 
 appointed to drive and goad the cattle that go for their 
 subsistence. Col. Whiting came in to the camp. About 
 four hundred of the .... [Five] nations of 
 Indians came into Albany. 
 
 25. Saturday. Yesterday I paid to my Tayler, 
 Sergt. Wallis, eight shillings in silver towards making 
 mj'' blew coat, laid out above four in coquolate, ginger- 
 bread and pipes. A pound of coquolate cost me 2s. 
 6d. 18d. of gingerbread, 5d. pipes: in all 4s. 5d. — 
 Yesterday received letters from home. 
 
 26. Sabbath. Preached at Albany from Isaiah 3, 
 10 & 11. 
 
 Tuesday. I left Albany about two afternoon, in 
 company of Col. Livingstone and five more, and came in 
 the evening into the camp at Stillwater, (wrote home 
 by Lieutenant Treat,) where is at present general 
 health, and none dangerously sick. 
 
 29. Wednesday. Lieut. General Schuyler came 
 
 into the camp, as also Col. Ingoldsby, Col. ; a 
 
 party of Indians, consisting of a captain and ten under 
 him passed by this camp, as it is suspected, in order to 
 get a prisoner at Canada. 
 
 80. Thursday. At Stillwater, waiting for the 
 repairing our battoes. The Indians designed for 
 Canada are staid in this camp, and not gone. . . . 
 
 31. Friday. General Nicholson came into the camp 
 at Stillwater, and was received with a tripple huzza 
 from the several regiments as he passed through them. 
 
[ 34 ] 
 
 The Ouondagous and Caijaijoes,^ about 200 or 250, 
 arrived in our camp. 
 
 September 1, 1711. Sundry parties of Indians came 
 into the camp. It is said in all they make about 600. 
 Twelve men from our regiment, and proportionally 
 from the rest, were detained^ to drive cattle to Surro- 
 togo. Also eight men out of Connecticut regiment, and 
 so in proportion of the rest were detached to clear the 
 way to Surrotogo. 
 
 A private sentinel belonging to Col. Ingoldsby's 
 regiment, was wounded in the shoulder by a ball shot 
 from the other side of the river, at what time the 
 Indians there with a running fire were receiving the 
 general. Yesterday a Bullet from the same quarter 
 struck the water within a few yards of Captain Mason, 
 as he was standing on the shore, and glanced by him. 
 
 2. Sabbath. We had orders to strike our tents, and 
 embark for Surrotogo, or the first carrpng place; but 
 were prevented by rain, and continued in the camp. I 
 preached from Proverbs, 14, 9. 
 
 3. JNIonday. Col. Schuyler's regiment and some 
 Indians embarked for the first carrying place; ours 
 about 9, in the morning followed them. We got to 
 Surrotogo in good time and pitched our tents a little 
 above it on the left side, at the upper end of it, about a 
 mile from the first carrying place. 
 
 4. Tuesday. Mr. Edwards, being under such indis- 
 position of body as to forbid his proceeding with us 
 took his leave of us, and embarked, for Stillwater, in 
 
 ^ Onondagas and Cayugas. 
 
 * Evidently should be "detailed." 
 
[ 85 ] 
 
 order to his return home. Our regiment decamped, 
 and went some by water and some bj^ land, to the first 
 carrying place, and there pitched our tents. Quickly 
 after our arrival in this place. Col. Schuyler's regiment 
 struck their tents, and part of Col. Ingoldsby's came 
 hither, viz: five companies. 
 
 5. Wednesday. We decamped from the first carry- 
 ing place, and encamped at the second, having secured 
 our provisions and ammunition where we landed, viz: 
 at the falls. We took the ground to the right of Col. 
 Schuyler's regiment, pitched our tents, and transported 
 our battoes, some on carriages and some on men's 
 shoulders. 
 
 6. Thursday. We fetched over our stores, and put 
 our battoes into the water. Fair weather after a wet 
 night. 
 
 7. Friday. Col. Schuyler's and our regiment 
 decamped from the second carrying place, and 
 encamped by Fort Xicholson. A Jersey man belong- 
 ing to Col. Schuyler's regiment, died last night. Col. 
 Whiting came into our camp at the second carrjdng 
 place, and went with us by water to this encampment. 
 
 8. Saturday. Four out of a company were detached 
 to clear the way to Wood Creek ; then two men out of a 
 company were detached, to go with the five nations to 
 Wood Creek, upon advice of our scouts sent thither 
 3'esterday, had made some discovery of the enemy being 
 there. It is said that one of them going back to fetch 
 his hatchet and knife, which he had left where they 
 halted, at Fort Ann, missed the same and saw the 
 tracks of Indians there. — Our scout returned from 
 
[ 36 ] 
 
 Wood Creek, without making any discovery of the 
 enemy. 
 
 9. Sabbath. A detachment was sent out to clear 
 the waye. I preached in the forenoon from Exodus, 
 23 : 25 and 26 ; and in the afternoon on Deuteronomy 
 5:32 and 33. 
 
 About 20 of the Synackes'^ offered themselves to fetch 
 a prisoner from Canada ; but, the General being absent, 
 were not permitted to go. In the evening several com- 
 panies of the regular troops came into the camp in this 
 place, and pitched their tents by the river. — Cloudy 
 weather, with some sprinlding of rain. 
 
 10. JNIonday. Lieutenant Gen. Schuyler marched, 
 with several companies of his regiment and many of the 
 five nations. There went also between 30 and 40 
 wagons, some carrying battoes — about 20; the rest 
 loaden with stores. These guarded by a detachment 
 from the Dutch and New England troops. General 
 Nicholson came into the camp, as also the rest of the 
 irregular forces from the last carrying place. By order 
 from the General the drum beat to arms, &c. A post 
 from New England with letters to the General and 
 some other arrived here this d?ij — Cloudy, moist and 
 rainy weather. 
 
 11. Tuesday. More wagons and trucks, with men 
 to guard them, and mend the roads, went for Wood 
 Creek. The General forbad all communication between 
 the Indians and our camp. — Four Indians belonging to 
 Capt. Shaw's company committed to our guard, and 
 laid neck-and-heels, by their General's order, for trad- 
 
 ° Senecas. 
 
[ 37 ] 
 
 ing with the Five Nations. I wrote home a journal 
 of our march and encampments to this day. In the 
 middle of the day fair and warm weather. 
 
 12. Wednesday. This day morning the camp laws 
 were again read to our people ; and oh ! that they were 
 duly and impartially executed. A scout sent out by 
 Col. Schuyler returned into the camp at Wood Creek, 
 excepting one, who is supposed to desert to the French. 
 We came from Canada in company with those French- 
 men who were detained at Albany. He left them at 
 the Lake Succuman.'' This day, as the preceeding, 
 spent in carrying over Colonel Schuyler's battoes and 
 stores. Several of Col. Ingoldsby's regiment tied neck- 
 and-heels, for going into the Indians camp, contrary 
 to the orders published on the 11th instant. Moderate 
 weather; sometimes cloudy and foggy, with sprinkling 
 of small rain. 
 
 13. Thursday. A clear and warm morning. Col. 
 Livingston was sent to take care about clearing Wood 
 Creek. Capt. Mason, ^^ath a detachment of our regi- 
 ment, to carry the Queen's and General's stores to the 
 camp above ; for vv^hich purpose about 40 of our troops 
 were employed. — Fair and warm weather. 
 
 14. Friday. I wrote home by the post. Our troops 
 
 employed in carrying over Capt. Stores. Our 
 
 Indians were sent with G. Woodcock, fourscore Indians 
 and six Dutchmen, sent out from the camp at Wood- 
 Creek in quest of a party of the enemy, supposed to be 
 
 ^Sacrement; i. e.. Lake George. The minister's ear for French 
 was not so good as a diarist's of the French and Indian War, who 
 sets it down as "S cocker romah." 
 
[ 38 ] 
 
 about twenty, whose tracks were discovered about ten 
 miles distant from the camp. — Clear and moderate 
 weather. 
 
 15. Saturday. This morning three companies of 
 Connecticut regiment, viz: L. C. Livingston's, Crane's 
 and Mason's, marched for Wood Creek. 
 
 16. Sabbath. Three companies of Col. Ingoldsby's 
 regiment marched out of this camp for Wood Creek. 
 An Indian wounded one of our regiment in the upper 
 camp, with a knife; and supposing, as it is thought, 
 that he had mortally wounded him, came down to the 
 General for a pardon. — I preached on Proverbs 18. 10. 
 
 A party of our Indians, w^ho were sent out some days 
 ago in quest of another of the enemy, happened to light 
 upon the tracks of some, which they followed; and in 
 a place where they made an halt, one of them espied a 
 piece of leather lying under a bush. This proved an 
 Indian shoe, or part of one, in which he found a leaded 
 ink-case, and a piece of paper giving an account of 
 several parties, in all amounting to the number of an 
 hundred and fourscore, nine French and the rest 
 Indians, said to be detachments from nine nations, 
 under the conduct of two French Officers. The paper 
 relates the number of each party, and the names of 
 those that make them, as also the place to which they 
 are assigned. — Clear and warm weather. 
 
 17. Monday. This morning thi'ee companies of Col. 
 Ingoldsbj^'s regiment, and two of Connecticut, viz: 
 Major Burr's and Capt. Ward's marched towards 
 upper camp. 
 
 Item. — Sergt. Hall of Wallingford died this morn- 
 
[ 39 ] 
 
 ing about nine o'clock. He was an old man, and had 
 been long sick, and hopefully a good man. — The Gen- 
 eral went for Wood Creek. In the evening Sergt. Hall 
 was buried; his corpse attended to the grave by several 
 files of musketeers, and honored with a triple discharge 
 of their pieces. — Fair and warm weather. 
 
 18. Tuesday. This morning one Bridgman (and 
 L\Tnan) of Northampton came express from Boston, 
 and with several Dutchmen from Albany, by whom we 
 are advised that yesterday, about eight o'clock in the 
 morning, a Dutchman as he was threshing at ... . 
 about twelve miles from Albany, was taken captive by 
 six Indians, and carried away. They passed by two 
 girls, who were surprised by that action and told them 
 they would do their father no hurt, and he should come 
 to them again by and by. 
 
 An hundred Indians and ten christians were sent from 
 the upper camp to Crown Point, where some think the 
 French have taken ground before us. Several Indians 
 were seen to pass by our camp through the woods, with 
 their arms and packs, supposed to be on their return 
 home ; and yesterday 20 or more were met on the road, 
 going towards Albany. A party sent out, if possible, 
 to intercept the enemy that took the Dutchman yester- 
 day. 
 
 Another parcel of our battoes carried over to the head 
 of the creek our horses, came, and returned thither with 
 stores. 
 
 19. Wednesday. Mr. Sharp, Chaplain to the regular 
 troops, as it is reported this morning, went off privately 
 last night in a bark canoe, attended by an Indian, in 
 
[ 40 ] 
 
 order to return home. This report proves too true: he 
 is really gone. * * * * 
 
 This day I wrote home to my wife and Mr. Wood- 
 bridge, and also received letters from them, bj^ which 
 I was informed of the death of Ensign Bunce, and my 
 Indian girl, and of the sickness among our people at 
 home. At the same time an express arrived in this 
 camp, with the very melancholy news of the misfortune 
 befallen our fleet and forces generally .... to 
 Canada. The report goes, that they lost eight trans- 
 ports by a storm in the river, and eight hundred and 
 fourscore men; and the rest so broken and shattered, 
 as it is concluded they can't proceed in the expedition. 
 An awful frown on New England in particular, and 
 the poor captives in the hand of our anti-christian and 
 pagan enemies. Oh, what will those say; how will they 
 triumph and blaspheme, reproach and deride! But 
 God governs. 
 
 20. Thursday. This sad tidings was confirmed by 
 another express from Boston, who came into the camp 
 last night. Our general officers, by orders from the 
 General, are gone for Wood Creek, I suppose, to hold 
 a council upon it. Orders came down this morning to 
 stop those what were marching thither; and doubtless 
 our expedition is at an end for this time. 
 
 Capt. Shaw, missing two of his Indians that came 
 from the upper camp yesterday, fears that they are lost 
 or taken: the last more probable. Upon the receipt 
 of my wife's letter, I Avrote another this morning, which 
 goes with the rest from hence, viz. by Bridgman of 
 Northampton. Two red coats that were left at the sec- 
 
[ 41 ] 
 
 ond carrying' place, to guard some stores left there by 
 the wagoners, were missing this morning by those that 
 went to fetch up the stores. The drink — beer and rum 
 was most of it gone, and no sign of the men. It is to 
 be feared thej'' are killed or captived. 
 
 21. Friday. Orders came down this morning from 
 the upper camp, to put our battoes into the water again, 
 and send up the troops with all haste; which, with the 
 horse-men last from Albany, are going with all speed. 
 A melancholy thing thus to be turned back — but God is 
 righteous in all his ways. 
 
 22. Lieutenant Bancroft, with 20 men of our regi- 
 ment, in ten of our battoes, fell away from hence to the 
 great carrying place; as also did a Captain and com- 
 pany of the regular troops. 
 
 About forty of our battoes were brought back from 
 the head of Wood Creek. — A post came in from Albany 
 with letters from York, advising that two ships were 
 arrived at that place from Great Britain; although^ 
 that Commodore Little, in a cruise off Carthagena, took 
 a galoon^ and Vice Admiral of the fleet they were con- 
 voying, who ISic'] carried 50 brass gims, and had on 
 board, besides its own, the loading, of a gallon^ con- 
 demned as unfit to put to sea. * * * * 
 
 25. Sabbath. I preached on Leviticus 1. 9, 17. — 
 More battoes and stores brought down from above. 
 
 24. Monday. Lieut. Mills, with 20 men, went down 
 in ten loaden boats to the second carrying place, as did 
 also a captain's company of the other regiment. More 
 
 "^ Should be "also."

[ 42 ] 
 
 battoes from the head of Wood Creek. The General 
 and Colonel Schuyler, with the remainder of the troops, 
 battoes and stores, came in from the upper camp, 
 excepting Lieut. Colonel Livingstone, Major Burr, 
 Capt. Ward and Capt. Mason, and their companies, &c. 
 25. Tuesday. Col. Livingstone, Major Burr, and 
 Captains Ward and Mason, with the rest of their troops, 
 battoes and stores, came down from the upper camp. 
 Col. Whiting, Col. Livingstone's company and Capt. 
 Crane's decamped from Fort Nicholson, and came to 
 the second carrying place. Col. Whiting's company 
 encamped where they landed, (26th) .... but 
 decamped for the second carrying place; as did also 
 Capt. Dimon, Capt. Crane, and Lieut. Col Livingstone's 
 company. Part of our own Colonel's Company got to 
 Stillwater (27th) in the night; the rest came in this 
 morning, where we found the three companies above 
 named, and several companies of the other regiments. 
 Last night died one of our militia-men belonging to 
 Farmington. 
 
 28. Friday. Lieut. Col Livingston, Captain Crane, 
 Capt. Mason, with the most of their companies, 
 decamped from Stillwater, and went down in their bat- 
 toes to Van Schaick's ground, where they encamped, 
 as did also some companies of the other regiments. 
 
 29. Saturday. The rest of our troops, excepting 
 a detachment under the command of Capt. Schuyler, 
 were left to guard the remainder of our stores. We 
 marched down to Van Shaick's, from thence Lieut. 
 Col. Livingstone and the rest that came thither before 
 us, were moved a little before our arrival, for Albany. 
 
 30. Sabbath. Last night Leander, an Indian that 
 
[ 43 ] 
 
 lived with Col. Whiting, died. In the morning eight 
 battoes were sent down to Albany. I came in one of 
 them to Green Bush. In the evening Col. Whiting and 
 the rest of his company came down to Albany. 
 
 October 1. Monday. The rest of our regiment came 
 into the camp below Albany. 
 
 2. Tuesday. This and the preceding day taken up 
 chiefly in carrying up our battoes into the pasture below 
 the fort. 
 
 3. Wednesday. In the old camp. Little business. 
 
 4. Thursday. A general muster and review in the 
 morning; the afternoon spent in shooting, running, 
 wrestling for a guinea, the General gave to each regi- 
 ment. In shooting and running Capt. Cranes men bore 
 away the prize. — Governor Saltonstall came to 
 Albany. * * * 
 
 5. In the old camp at Albany. 
 
 6. Saturday. Major Burr, vdth the troops belong- 
 ing to New Haven and Fairfield county marched from 
 Green Bush on their return home. 
 
 7. Sabbath. The rest of our regiments, under the 
 conduct of Capt. Mason, with whom I march, decamped 
 from Green Bush and went to Kenderhook — 29 miles. 
 
 8. Monday. We marched about 22 miles, and 
 encamped about 4 or 6 from Housetonsack river. 
 
 9. Tuesday. We proceeded about 16 miles east of 
 that river ; 23 miles. 
 
 10. Wednesday. We got into Westfield'^ at one or 
 two. 
 
 11. Thursday. We halted at Westfield. 
 
 12. Friday. I returned to my family.
