Excerpt from Rev. Ammi R. Robbins: A Chaplain in the American Army, in the Northern Campaign of 1776 A brief of some of the more remarkable events in my tour to Canada. Monday, March 18, 1776. - Took an affectionate leave of home, came to Canaan, met the Colonel and proceeded with a considerable retinue to Sheffield. Rev. Mr. Farrand accompanied us; he and I dined at brother Keep's. Had a most agreeable interview, prayed together and parted in the most tender and friendly manner. Very bad riding, but proceeded to Coles in Nobletown; lodged comfortably. Tuesday, 19. - Rose early, and in company rode five miles to breakfast, cheerful and comfortable; proceeded to Kinderhook, thence to Greenbush, put out our horses, crossed the river at dark and came into Albany; lodged pretty well. Wednesday, 20. - Found Colonel Buel and Major Sedgwick, agreed to put up with them. Drew our provisions and lodged on the floor on my mattrass. May I be thankful for such comfortable entertainment. Went twice this day to visit and pray with a poor soldier of the Pennsylvania regiment under sentence of death; he appeared much affected but dreadfully ignorant.
