1777 Revolutionary War Manuscript Report on Regimental Strength. Manuscript document tallying the strength of the 14th Massachusetts Regiment immediately following its participation at the historic Revolutionary War Battle of Saratoga, 8¼ x 14½ in., 25 Oct. 1777. Having fought less than three weeks earlier, this regiment was still in that area, assisting in capturing the remainder of Burgoyne's invading, and now retreating, British forces. The seven companies of the Regiment are clearly listed in multiple rows in 16 columns. There is a notation concerning men serving with General Daniel Morgan, as well as a listing of an officer who had died as a result of his wounds. The report has some edge wear along with some minor old hinge stains; the text, however, remains very clear and legible.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,200.
