[102] Lieut. Col. William Butler. See Thomas Grant's account of the march of this detachment. [103] No account has been found of the exact route taken by this detachment. It is supposed they followed the regular Indian trail, the line of which was afterward substantially adopted for the Seneca Turnpike, which passed through Auburn and Onondaga Hill to Fort Stanwix on the Mohawk, on the site of present Rome in Oneida County. On the way the party passed through the Oneida and Tuscarora towns, where every mark of hospitality and friendship was shown the party. They reached Fort Stanwix on the 25th. [104] KENDAIA. See note No. 81 for description of this town. [105] "We lost in this place more than a hundred horses, and it has been called, I suppose, the valley of Horse Heads to this day."--_Nathan Davis' Statement._ [106] During the absence of the army Col. Reid had constructed a palisaded work at the junction of Newtown creek and the Chemung just below Sullivan's Mills in Elmira, called in some accounts Fort Reid. [107] There were five brigades. [108] At the same time news was received of "the generous proceedings of Congress in augmenting the subsistence of the officers and men." [109] Thirteen appropriate toasts were drunk. The last was follows: "May the enemies of America be metamorphosed into pack horses and sent on a western expedition against the Indians."--_Lossing's Field Book Rev., I, 278, note._ [110] "Sept. 27.--A large fatigue party was sent up the river nine miles, where they loaded nine boats with corn and other vegetables and brought them down. This evening Mr. Lodge and five men from Col. Butler came and informed us that the Col. was about 10 miles from camp."--_Jenkins' Journal._ [111] Col. VanCortlandt says he went above Painted Post.
