Donatien de Vimeur, Compte de Rochambeau. In July of 1780, this force
landed at Newport, Rhode Island and during the following year marched
to join with Washington's patriot forces above New York City for a
projected attack on that place. After determining that New York was
too risky to assault, the allied force conducted a skillful march
across New Jersey and into Virginia to bottle up another British force
under General Cornwallis at Yorktown. After being reinforced, by the
French fleet under Compte de Grasse with further troops from the West
Indies, the allies laid siege to the British who had fortified their
position. On October 19, 1781, the British forces surrendered insuring

Wednesday morning
near 10 of the clock - Watertown.
To all the friends
of American liberty be it known that this morning before break of day,
a brigade, consisting of about 1,000 to 1,200 men landed at Phip's
Farm at Cambridge and marched to Lexington, where they found a company
of our colony militia in arms, upon whom they fired without any
provocation and killed six men and wounded four others. By an express
from Boston, we find another brigade are now upon their march from
Boston supposed to be about 1,000. The Bearer, Israel Bissell, is
charged to alarm the country quite to Connecticut and all persons are
desired to furnish him with fresh horses as they may be needed. I have
spoken with several persons who have seen the dead and wounded. Pray
let the delegates from this colony to Connecticut see this.
