The struggle of the 19th was principally fought out at a few points mentioned in history, as follows : " high ground about one hundred and fifty rods west of Freeman's eot- tage." This must have been the hill now on the farm of Widow Freeman and Patrick Welch. " A point about sicty rods west of the cottage." This must have been on the level ground, not far from, or else at, the slate ridge spoken of. " About midway between the cottage and the ravine." This was south beyond the present orchard of A. S. Bright- man. " On a elearing in front of Freeman's cottage ten or fifteen acres in extent, and sloping east and south." This
could only be the now beautiful field commencing at the orchard and declining south and east. " An open wood in the rear of the cottage." This was probably where the present dwelling-house of Brightman stands, and farther north along the present road. History also states that " Learned's brigade, and probably Marshall's, were princi- pally engaged on a rise of ground west of the cottage." This probably refers to the next height northwest of the Welch and Freeman hill. And so " Freeman's cottage" and its vicinity was the battle-ground of the 19th of Sep- tember, 1777. East, west, north, and south, within a radius of half a mile, the attack and the defense, the charge and the repulse, all took place. Hour after hour the fearful conflict went on, and night closed upon a scene hard to realize, even when standing on the very spot where a hun- dred years ago was the carnage of battle.
During the day, while the battle was raging around the " cottage," the British attempted to penetrate the American lines by moving along a road at the foot of the hills, nearly the course of the canal at the present time. They were met by the Americans and repulsed in a sharp skirmish. This occurred where Mill creek flows through the hills and makes a small basin by the canal, not far from the barn of Mr. Valance, already mentioned. To reach the battle-field at " Freeman's cottage," one division, to form the left wing of the British army, moved from the camp at " the Sword honse," nearly westerly to the road from Quaker Springs, and then turned south, coming in near the place of George Coulter or in that vicinity. Another division, composing the centre, moved up Wilbnr's ravine, and then struck across sonthwesterly to " Freeman's cottage," while the por- tion forming the British left moved directly to the alluvial flats south of Wilbur's basin.
The battle of Oct. 7 was fought on nearly the same
ground as that of Sept. 19, and the usual descriptions of it will be readily understood in connection with this statement of places, lines, and batteries. The space between Free- man's cottage and the hill at Patrick Welch's was the scene of a most fearful slaughter. Between the slate ridge and Brightman's orchard the dead lay in mingled masses, friend and foe in wild confusion. And the battle raged far to the southwest, along the hill where Patrick Welch now lives, and beyond, as the hill declines to the low grounds, near the foot of the Munger place. Ilere were made the desperate attempts by each party to flank the other. Here the impetuous charges of the Americans drove the three divisions of the British army on this hill into an irregular and partially disorganized mass northwest, towards the present Rogers place. In that slight but smooth and handsome valley between the two heights Fraser fell while riding up and down the lines, rallying, arranging, and inspiring.
Near this same hill, or upon its northern end, was the artillery, said to have been taken and retaken five times in the terrific struggle.
Take a point somewhat east of the house of A. S. Brightman, near the corner of the woods, and draw a line diagonally through to the point below the Munger house, and we have a central fighting line, along which, but diverg- ing at some points thirty or forty rods, the great battle was fought. And yet it varied during the day beyond that. The British at one time pressed through to the line of the intrenchments east of the Neilson hill, and a sharp action took place there. They pushed up the valley west of the Neilson place despite the commanding range of the fort, and despite the line of intrenchments along the Neilson orchard, and there the struggle was bloody, obstinate. And, on the other hand, Arnold, sweeping along the plain in front of Balcarras' line, west of " Freeman's cottage," dashed through to the Hessian or Burgoyne hill, so called, farther north, and was himself actually wounded even at the rear of that. So that while the general battle-field is readily understood, yet the special movements to and fro of the contending forces can only be fully seen by reading the best histories " on the ground ;" making the whole a great object-lesson, first read a sentence or a description and then locate it. Late in the afternoon of the 7th the rapidly- changing picture of the field almost defies description.
It would be within the scope of this statement of locali- ties to speak of the burial-places of the killed. It is diffi- cult to do so, however, with any great accuracy. Perhaps two or three points may be considered well known. Ebene- zer Leggett states that in plowing just west of the barn of A. S. Brightman he uncovered, in early years, large muum- bers of skeletons but slightly buried. As this was the west line of the British defenses, the dead were here gathered, no doubt, deposited in the trenches all along the line, and slightly covered. Charles Neilson's history speaks of the burial of the American dead as south and west from the Neilson house. 'This would be in the valley near the present orchard. In this statement, as in many others, the Neilson history has the advantage of being written by a man who lived on the very field of these operations, and whose childhood was spent in sight of the fortifications not then destroyed, and umher the explanations of his father,

who was present during the fortifying of the camp and the battles that followed. Really, the places of burial were so numerous and so seattered as to defy all description or enumeration.
XI .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The people of Stillwater are mostly engaged in agrieul- ture. The farms are rich and productive, and the erops common to the valley of the Hudson are raised successfully. So much space has been given to the battle history that only a few brief statements can be added on this subject.
MANUFACTURES.
The knitting-mill of Newland & Dennison was estab- lished in 1873. It employs fifty hands, manufactures gentlemen's and ladies' underwear, averaging about seventy- five dozen a day.
The paper-mill now" owned by Mosher & Judd was founded in 1847 or 1848 by William Mosher and Elihu Allen. The business was for many years confined to paper- hangings. In later times they have mostly made bag- paper. They employ fifteen to twenty hands, manufae- turing about nine tons of paper a week.
The Stillwater hosiery-works were first built in 1873 by Ephraim Newland, opened by Newland & Wilson, and soon after transferred to the present proprietors, E. B. Skinner & Co. They employ about seventy hands, making gents', boys', and ladies' underwear, an aggregate of about twenty thousand dozen a year.
The Stillwater straw-board manufactory was established in 1866 by D. and W. Pemble, the present owners. About twelve hands are employed, making twelve to fifteen tons per week.
The paper-mill opposite Baker's loek was built by Gard- ner Howland & Sons in 1862 or 1863. Burned down onee and rebuilt, and now owned by the same men. Doing an excellent business.
XII .- MILITARY.
For the Revolutionary war no list can be very well written that will do justice to all. Many citizens have already been mentioned as having been present at the battles of Bemus Heights. Many others rendered service in various ways as scouts, teamsters, and guides.
In the War of 1812 there were several volunteers and drafted men who entered the service from this town. No accurate list of names ean be very easily prepared. Ash- bel Palmer and Leonard Hodgman reeall a few : Leonard Hodgman furnished substitute ; James Hodgman went into service ; John Hunter furnished substitute; David C. Flager, Lieut. John R. Myers, Wm. Baker, Peter Baker, Ww. Seouten, James MeNeal, Thomas Elms, Daniel llew- ett, Jr., Samuel Edmonds, John Tompkins, David Blood.
For the War of 1861-65 a list is added. It has been made much more complete than the one found in the town clerk's office, but it may still fail to include some who went into the army. It has, however, been carefully advertised, and the whole people invited to assist in making it com- plete and reliable.
