Fortunately, on the very day, August 13th, that Baum set out, General Stark, who was in command of a brigade of New Hampshire militia, arrived at Bennington. He had just refused to join General Schuyler, on the ground that his troops were raised for the defence of the State, and he had been promised a separate command.
