Title: Keugh, Lieutenant William, Report of British Officer to His Majesty from Camp at Germantown, September 28, 1777; Keugh, Lieutenant William, Report of British Officer to His Majesty from Camp at German Town 28th of Septemr. 1777
Identifier(s): apsrevcity:17074
Description: The account is a report by Lieutenant William Keugh, Adjutant of His Majesty's 44th Regiment of Foot to General of the Army James Abercrombie, his commanding officer. The account describes the Philadelphia campaign of the American Revolution from the Battle of Brandywine to the Battle of Germantown, including the Paoli Massacre. Due to Keugh's position as Adjutant, or staff officer, the account includes information regarding the movements of supply trains and artillery, not just the conduct of the battle. Also mentioned are the British landings at Head of Elk, Maryland, as well as a partial list of British casualties during the campaign. Though the account is dated September 28, 1777, Keugh references in the text that it was written over a period of several days, concluding on October 7, 1777, just three days after the conclusion of the Battle of Germantown.; American Philosophical Society
