Box xii, Packet 39-19
Nineteenth Camp at Spurrier's Tavern. 23-26 July 1782. Nine miles from the previous camp at Snowden's Iron Works and 13 miles from the next camp at Baltimore. Spurrier's Tavern was near present Waterloo on U.S. Route 1. According to Von Closen (p. 215), the camp was "near Spurrier's Tavern...not far from Dorsay's house." At this point the army rejoined the route of its southbound march in September 1781. At that time it had reached Spurrier's Tavern when news of the arrival of La Villebrune's ships, with adequate transports, determined the march southeastward to Annapolis. Cf. No. 162 and notes to Nos. 80 and 82.
