Revolutionary War battlefield cemetery...Elmira, NY

Situated on a hillside near Elmira, NY, this tiny cemetery holds the

graves of soldiers who fought with General John Sullivan in his

"scorched earth" campaign to punish native Americans who sided with

the British in the Revolutionary War. The Sullivan Campaign, including

the Battle of Newtown fought at this site, is considered by historians

to be one of the turning points in the revolutionary struggle.

Comments and critiques are always welcomed. Thanks...Bill
