Excerpt from The Pathfinders of the Revolution: A Story of the Great March Into the Wilderness and Lake Region of New York in 1779Who has done justice to Major General John Sul livan and to his Continental soldiers? These, in their great expedition of I 779 into the lake region of central and western New York, broke completely the power of the Iroquois Confederacy.
