Daniel Brodhead, the commandant at Fort Pitt. Most of the action described<br>in the correspondence and other documents unfolds in the frontier communities of Fort Pitt, Fort Vincennes, Detroit,<br>Wheeling, and other places in western Pennsylvania, southwestern Virginia, and Kentucky.<br>Genealogists will find numerous references to the thousands of settlers who flocked into the region at this time,<br>despite the threat of Indian reprisal.<br>From his headquarters at Fort Pitt, Brodhead directed numerous raids against hostile native tribes, often leading the expeditions personally.<br>His most famous raid came against the Seneca tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy between August 11 and September 14, 1779. Brodhead<br>left Fort Pitt with a contingent of 605 soldiers and militia to go into northwestern Pennsylvania. He followed the Allegheny River up<br>into New York, where he drove the Seneca out of their villages. As most of the warriors were away fighting the Sullivan Expedition further<br>east in New York, Brodhead met little resistance in destroying the villages, crops and people at the heart of the Seneca nation.<br>In 1781, some of the Lenape-Delaware ended their neutrality and sided with the British. In retaliation, Brodhead invaded their territory in central<br>Ohio and destroyed the main village of Coshocton in what is now east-central Ohio. As a result of Brodhead's campaign, the Delaware fled from<br>eastern Ohio. They also vowed vengeance.[2]<br>He retained command of the Western Department until September 17, 1781, when he was replaced by General John Gibson. He had turned over<br>command in May 1781, but returned in August and tried to regain control from Gibson, in the process arresting Gibson. However George Washington<br>sent orders which led to Broadhead's permanent removal from command at Fort Pitt.[3] Broadhead was removed from his command over allegations<br>of mishandling supplies and money. Brodhead had made impressment (the forced sale of supplies) a policy. He had spent money intended for<br>bonuses to recruit new militiamen to purchase supplies for his existing troops. Brodhead was acquitted of all charges except misspending the recruiting<br>money. George Washington had been aware of the impressment and had given his tacit approval, as the Continental Army was struggling to keep<br>going. Furthermore, the court martial ruled Broadhead justified in spending the recruiting money on supplies, and he was not punished.<br>A short time later, George Washington brevetted him a brigadier general. Brodhead spent the remainder of the war<br>as commander of the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment.<br>Check out my<br>other items<br>!<br>Be sure to add me to your<br>favorites list<br>!<br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>Terms and Conditions of Purchase<br>ü<br>Your item will usually ship 1-2 business days after payment has been received.<br>ü<br>If not paid instantly with PayPal, please use the checkout option<br>within three days of winning<br>single item auctions.<br>ü<br>ü<br>In accordance with new EBay policy only Paypal payment is accepted, and is due within three days of purchase.<br>My feedback is promptl
