Note 1295 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
The loyalists termed this Schuyler's "Peacock Expedition", because the men decorated themselves with feathers from the peacocks at Johnson Hall. Cf. Jones's New York, i. 71, and note xxx.; De Peyster's Life and Misfortunes of Sir John Johnson (New York, 1882), which was first issued as a part of the Orderly-Book of Sir John Johnson (Albany, 1882). This contains a portrait of Sir John, which will also be found in Hubbard's Red Jacket.—Ed.
