Description
"Battle of Poplington” is the first chapter of a war novel written by one of the brothers. It seems a fairly late work with sophisticated drawings and fairly mature handwriting. In this four-page spread, the author places the most emphasis on conveying, in great deal, the particulars of this military campaign. Specific numbers of troops from each of the vying armies are mentioned, and their precise movements before the battle are illustrated in a map on the third page of the manuscript. The characters of William Little and Ethan Allen are both present in the text as competing generals.
