Thirteenth Camp at Dumfries. 15-18 July 1782. Ten miles from the previous camp at Peyton's Tavern. Dumfries, county seat of Prince William County, on Quantico Creek (the stream shown here), was once a flourishing port; it was later eclipsed in this respect by Alexandria.

Twelfth Camp at Peyton's Tavern. 15-17 July 1782. As explained in the heading, the First Division had camped on 14 July at "Garrot's" Tavern, 13 miles frrom the previous camp at Falmouth, but because of insufficient water there the divisions following continued 3 miles farther to camp here at Peyton's Tavern. Several of the officer's journals metnion the hot weather and consequent importance of good spring water: e.g., Verger, p. 159. Peytons's Ordinary, as the tavern was also called, was a few miles north of Stafford (county seat of Stafford County, on present U.S. Route 1). The stream shown here is Aquia Run according to Colles, Survey, Plate 68.

Ford at Falmouth across the Rappahannock River. July 1782. According to Clermont-Crèvecœur (p. 73), the artillery used this ford, which was particularly bad. The infantry and the wagons, however, were ferried across; cf. Verger's journal, p. 159, and Von Closen, p. 210. The road at lower left, an alternate route from Fredericksburg to the ferry, is described here as "a very bad path, but shortening the distance over the main road by more than half."
