readers:
I received a request from an author for aid in locating a map or maps that
show the chain of fortifications along the Oneida Carry from the Oneida
Lake end of Wood creek to the Mohawk. I am aware of the Fleury map as
published in Stone's "Life of Brant". Would anyone know the whereabouts of
the original? And would there be other maps from a similiar period
(ca.1750-1800)? I have also heard mention of a plan book of fortifications
drawn by a female French engineer-does that ring a bell for anyone?

thanks,

Greg Ketcham
