The Flockey, 13 August 1777, The Defeat of the Tory Uprising in the Schoharie Valley.
By: Gavin K. Watt The campaign of 1777 proved to be the turning point of the American Revolution. Two British expeditions invaded upper New York State from Canada. From Montreal,general John Burgoyne's Grand Army of 7500 British and German Regulars, Tory Provincials and nine hundred Canada and Lakes Indians struck south on Lake Champlain. To everyone's astonishment, the 'inpregnable' fortress fo Ticonderoga quickly fell to Burgoyne. Then, in rapid order, the UNited States Army abandoned a series of New York's frontier posts on the Hudson River. Burgoyne seemed poised to take Albany. While these critical events were underway, a secret network of Mohawk region Tories made an attempt to seize control of the Schoharie Valley. This book tells how a Troop of the Second Regiment of Continental Light Dragoons defeated the Tories and Indians during the Schoharie Valley uprising in an action known as The Flockey 111 pages;index;illus;notes;pub 2002; ISBN 0-9692366-2-X
