Excellent account of the Sullivan Expedition...

This was a U.S. military campaign of the Revolutionary War, lasting from June to October 1779 against the four British-allied nations of the Iroquois Indians. The campaign was ordered by George Washington in response to the 1778 Iroquois and British attacks on the Wyoming Valley, German Flatts, and Cherry Valley.
The campaign had the aim of taking the war home to the enemy to break their morale. The Continental Army carried out a scorched-earth campaign in the territory of the Iroquois Confederacy in what is now western and central New York.

The expedition was largely successful, with more than 40 Iroquois villages razed and their crops and food stores destroyed. The campaign drove 5,000 Iroquois to Fort Niagara seeking British protection. The campaign depopulated the area for post-war settlement and opened up the vast Ohio Country. Some scholars argue that it was an attempt to annihilate the Iroquois and describe the expedition as a genocide.

Other war-related reports inside, most seen in the photos, including a "Proclamation" concerning an embargo relating to the difficulty of soldiers procuring supplies; A letter that begins: "My plan off the campaign would be this--Destroy, without reserve, every seaport town between this and the extremity of the New England province, and the shipping, etc. in the harbours--proceed to Charlestown..." with more.
