Through these hills there were three roads ; one near the Narrows, a second on the Flatbush road, and a third on the Bedford road ; and these were the only passes from the south side of the hills to the American lines, excepting a road which leads to Jamaica, round the easterly end of the hills. General Putnam, agreeably to the instructions of General Washington, had detached a considerable part of his men to occupy the woody hills and passes : but in the performance of this service, there appe...ars to have been a deficiency, either of skill or vigilance. When the whole British army was landed, the Hes- sians, under General De Heister, composed the centre at Flatbush : Major-General Grant commanded the left wing, which extended to the coast ; and the principal army, under the command of General Clinton, Earl Per- cy, and Lord Cornwallis, turned short to the right, and approached the opposite coast at Flatland. The position of the Americans having been reconnoitred, Sir William Howe, from the intelligence given him, determined to attempt to turn their left flank.
