The Scottish Record Society published transcriptions of "The Binns Papers," primarily recording transactions within the Dalyell family (
Binns was the seat of the family in Scotland). Papers of Captain James Dalyell, a
British officer, who was killed in Detroit during Pontiac's War, included in the collection, contained many military-related items. Below was a report from
Major Alexander Monypenny, dated at the Camp at
Fort Prince George, 14 July 1761, from the southern campaign against the Indians.
From
The Binns Papers:
An earlier report by Major Monypenny is mentioned in the blog "
On the Trail of the Trail," regarding the campaign against the
Cherokees.
Military reports about campaigns in North America were not at all what I expected from papers published by the Scottish Record Society!
