Major General Amos Hall-- Part 1: His Orderly Book

Last week, I mentioned this officer's name in connection with Camp Hardscrabble near Dickersonville, New York, and had never heard of him before, so further research was in order.

From the William Clements Library, University of Michigan.

They have his 181301814 Orderly Book which consists of 108 pages.  It belonged to Major General Amos Hall who commanded a New York militia unit near Buffalo during the War of 1812 and contains correspondence with other commanding officers stationed in western New York between December 24, 1813, and April 10, 1814.

This is probably where the letter commanding officers at Camp Hardscrabble came from in the previous posts.
