1st and 2nd Massachusetts Brigades

The tents seen in the background are on the far end of the Continental Army’s encampment. The soldiers’ tents formed a one-and-a-half-mile long line at Verplanck’s Point. Many soldiers in the 1st and 2nd Massachusetts Brigades were veterans of the Saratoga Campaign of 1777 and had been stationed in the Hudson Highlands since 1778.
