(Le 11 Séjour)" [no map]. 12-13 September 1782. Fifteen miles from the previous camp at Whippany, where each of the two brigades had remained an extra day. No new map of the Whippany camp was included in this series, since the camp was in the same position in 1781; see No. 66.

Thirty-fifth Camp at Suffern [in New York]. 13-14 September 1782. Fifteen miles from the preceding camp at Pompton Plains. The stream is the Ramapo River. The previous year's camp at Suffern is shown above on the map, No. 64, which appears reversed in relation to the present one, it being the cartographer's practice to orient his map with the direction of the march at the top of the sheet.

Thirty-sixth Camp at Haverstraw. 14-16 September 1782. Fifteen and a half miles from the preceding camp at Suffern. The First Brigade remained here for three days, the Second Brigade for two, before crossing the Hudson at King's Ferry on 17 September. The First Brigade camped on this site already used the previous year (cf. No. 63) north of Cedar Pond Brook, in what is now the village of stony Point. The Second Brigade camped farther south, along the road leading from the village of Haverstraw to "Smith-house." This was the house of Joshua Hett Smith, later known as "Treason House," where Arnold and Andre spent the night of 21-22 September 1780; the site is now occupied by the New York State Rehabilitation Hospital (West Haverstraw). The stream at the far right of the map is Minisceongo Creek.

Thirty-seventh Camp at Peekskill. 17-23 September 1782. Nine and a half miles from the preceding camp at Haverstraw. The entire army is shown in camp here (Lauzun's Legion, at right, nearest the Hudson) on hillocks to the south of the village of Peekskill. The site is in the southern part of the now-populated part of Peekskill. The small stream at top of map (south) is Dickey Brook; the single peak beyond it, Blue Mountain. For its relationship to the larger general area, see maps of the 1781 campaign, Nos. 48 and 62. On the way to its camp here at Peekskill the French army had crossed the Hudson at King's Ferry (Stony Point to Verplanck's Point) and then marched past the American camp, which was closer to the ferry landing. The French halted at Peekskill for a week before proceeding on 24 September, eastward and farther inland, to their next camp at Hunt's Tavern (also referred to as the Crompond encampment).

Thirty-eighth Camp at Hunt's Tavern. 24 September - 21 October 1782. Eight miles from the preceding camp at Peekskill. The army had already camped here the previous year, as shown on map, No. 61. The road running from the bottom to the top of the sheet (shouth) is Crompond Road, present State Route 35 (U.S. 202) in the town of Yorktown, New York. The lower or the two roads leading into it from the right is present Baldwin Road. Hunt's Tavern (not so labeled on this map) is the house situated at this junction. The road leading off at this point to the left (which the army would eventually take when resuming its march to Salem Center) is present Hallock's Mill Road. An outlet of Crom Pond (the larger of the two "Etangs") curves around the high ground where part of the army camped behind the tavern and then crosses Hallock's Mill Road. The "Qier Gal" (Quartier General), i.e., Rochambeau's Headquarters, was situated here in Samuel Delevan's house. For the story of Delevan's claims against the General, see Verger's journal, n. 158. The position of the "Hunt's Tavern camp" within the general "Crompond" area is shown on the next map.

Thirty-ninth Camp at Salem [Salem Center, Westchester County, New York]. 22-23 October 1782. Thirteen and a half miles from the Hunt's tavern (Crompond) camp. The route from Hunt's Tavern via Hait's (or Haight's) Tavern (Somers) and Dean's Bridge (Purdys), to Salem is described (in reverse) in the 1781 "Itinerary from Providence to the Campe at Philipsburg." This portion of the route had not, however, been taken in 1781, because of the change in itinerary; see note to map, No. 24. Thus the army marched over this road for the first time in 1782. From here to Providence, Rhode Island, the march was by brigades: the Bourbonnais Brigade (including the Bourbonnaid and Royal Deux-Ponts regiments) a day ahead of the Soissonnais Brigade (including the Soissonnais and Saintonge regiments).

Fortieth Camp at Danbury [in Connecticut]. 23-24 October 1782. Eleven miles from the preceding camp at Salem Center, New York. When marching to Danbury the army passed through Ridgbury where it had camped the previous year (cf. No. 37); henceforth it followed, in the opposite direction, the route already taken in 1781. The road from Ridgebury to Danbury is shown on map, No. 23.

Forty-fourth Camp at Farmington. Also "Camp à New-Town, le 24 Octobre, 12 miles de Dambury; Voyés Campagne 1781, 10e Camp. (le 25 Séjour)" [no map], "Camp à Break-Neck, le 26 Octobre, 15 miles de New-Town. Voyés Campagne 1781, 9e Camp" [no map], "Camp à Barn's Tavern, le 27 Octobre, 13 Miles de Break-Neck. Voyès campagne 1781. 8e Camp" [no map]. 28-29 October 1782. Thirteen miles from the preceding camp at Barnes's Tavern (in Marion). On the march from Danbury to Farmington the army had camped at Newtown (41st camp, 24-26 October 1782), Break Neck (42nd camp, 26-27 October), and Barnes's Tavern (43rd camp, 27-28 October), but no new maps are included in the present series since the positions were the same as those occupied on the 1781 southward march. Cf. Nos. 36, 35, and 34. The route is shown on Nos. 23, 22, 21, and 20.
