History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. I
The cannonade of the little party, on Chatterton'shill,- was continued by the Hessian Artillerists, without cessation, while the General Officers, it is said," assembled in Council, without having dismounted ; and it is probable that the noisy demonstration, so very characteristic of Germans, in their use of gunjiowdcr, was continued, with unabated ardor, until the movement of their companions in arms, up the steep and rugged hill-side, of which the reader will learn more, hereafter, obliged the gunners to suspend their operations."
"Upon viewing the situation," in deference to the
hill ; but no other writer than he has thus honored Colonel Graham, himself unworthy of any such authorial favor; and, besides. Colonel Carrington coulil have easily ascertained that Colonel Graham's cominanil was a portion of tile Brigade coniinanded by General George Clinton, who was posted on the extreme left of the American line, not far from two miles from Chatterton's-hill.
No one has pretended that the Aclj\itant-geneval of the Army was on Chatterton's-hill, on that eventful Jlonday ; but he must have been there, if Colonel Carrington is correct, since it was he who accused Colonel Graliam of cowardice, on which Colonel Carrington has based his favor to the bashful New-Yorker.
6 It is a notable fact that, notwithstanding all which has been written, in these latter days, of tlie great services of that Company, of which contemporai-y writers were entirely silent, the name of the Ofticer who waa in actual comnuiud, on Chatterton's-hill, was not mentioned by any one, of that period, who wrote concerning the Battle.
