Examination of Walter Elliot | |
Wednesday, April 12th, 1780 | Cover Letter to Governor Clinton informing himof Harpersfield Raid and forwarding Harper's and Brant's letters | |
Notes: These four manuscripts were all written within 5 days of the April 7th, 1780 raid. Put into the chronological order in which they were written, and knowing where they were from April 7th through April 12th gives us a good picture of the raid. This information has been reported in exagerated tails, in incomplete histories, and studied by historians. By combining the primary documents into one source, I hope to paint a more clear picture of this snapshot in time.
