sullivan	Posted - January 07 2005 : 10:53:23 PM Cooper, the boy, was haunted by Indian artifacts he discovered and tales he'd heard about the Sullivan-Clinton Campaign that was launched from Glimmerglass itself. He wrote about it in his super intro to The Pioneers. G. Washington ordered it to uproot the Iroquois during the Am Rev. Today, there's my award-winning website at www.sullivanclinton.com and an amazing 11-scene animated MapSet at www.sullivanclinton.com/mapset/shell.swf. Jump in, learn a lot, and buy the MapSet for any PC or Mac. In this 230th anniversary year of the Revolution, learn about Sullivan/Clinton and its impact on the Iroquois. How does an event this important stay so off the radar screen?!

sullivan	Posted - January 08 2005 : 12:16:50 AM Hugh, I appreicate your reply. Please look over Cooper's 1832 Introduction to The Pioneers, especially pages 7-8 in the Penguin Classics edition (1988). It's intriguing and is evidence of his interest in Sullivan/Clinton that is well worth sifting. quote: Originally posted by hmacdougall They are indeed excellent websites, but I am not aware of any evidence that young Cooper collected Indian artifacts or had any special knowledge/interest in the Clinton/Sullivan Campaign. He might well have, growing up in Cooperstown, but might have is not evidence. If there is such evidence I should be delighted to hear about it. Hugh MacDougall
sullivan	Posted - January 08 2005 : 12:03:31 AM Dear Wilderness Woman, I duly note your objection to my multiple postings. It's my first time posting here and now I know. As for "the radar screen" I can assure you that Sullivan/Clinton is barely known outside parts of western new york and needs to be on a bigger radar screen. It's not proprietary or local. It's everyone's history and has enduring lessons.
Wilderness Woman	Posted - January 07 2005 : 11:22:22 PM Mr. Spiegelman, I have previously visited your website, and it is a very interesting one. However, it is really only necessary, not to mention acceptable, to post your advertisement one time in one thread, not in three or four. Living quite near Newtown Battlefield State Park, I can assure you that this important event is, indeed, well placed "on the radar screen." It has been much discussed among the re-enacting community, and if I recall correctly, even here on these boards.
