To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Murray estate lay in the direct line of march of the British forces under Sir William Howe, when, on September 15, 1776, having effected a landing at Kip's Bay on the East River about Thirty-fourth Street, they advanced across the island and northward in the wake of the re- treating Americans. A picturesque tradition tells that the strategic hospitality of Mary Murray, delaying the British general, enabled Putnam and' Aaron Burr to withdraw Silliman's brigade and Knox's artillery from a per...ilous position in the city to the southward.
[193] MARY MURRAY OF MURRAY HILL The Lady of Belmont looked out to the east: The smoke of the battle was wafted aside; The shattering roar of the cannon had ceased; The British flotilla swept over the tide.
And on came the gallant battalions in red With glimmer of steel and victorious cheers; The hills of Manhattan re-echoed their tread — The conquering march of the King's Grenadiers.
The Lady of Belmont looked south to the sea; Manhattan's green valleys were spread to her ken; "And whose may that column of riflemen be Now plain on the hillside, now hid in the glen ?" '"Tis Putnam's!
