1779 - An expedition into the Indian country being determined on, general 
Sullivan was appointed to the command, and the New Hampshire brigade made 
part of this forces.  His rout was up the Susquehanna in the country of the 
Seneca's, a track imperfectly known, and into which no troops had ever 
penetrated.  The order of this march was planned with great judgment and 
executed with much regularity and perservance.  In several engagements with 
the savages, the troops from new Hampshire behaved with a characteristic 
intrepidity.  The provisions of the detachment falling short before the 
object of the expedition was completed, the troops generously consented to 
subsist on such food, as could be found in the Indian country.  After their 
return, they were re-united to the main army and passed a third winter in the
huts at Newtown in Connecticut.  On the close of this year Sullivan resigned 
his command and retired.
