Along the east slope of Mount Kemble, on the west side of Mount Kemble
Avenue (U. S. Route 202), about five-sixths of a mile northwest of its
intersection with the Tempe Wick Road, is the campsite occupied in
1779-80 by Stark’s Brigade, named for its commanding officer, Brig. Gen.
John Stark. In this brigade were Webb’s and Sherburne’s Connecticut
Regiments, Jackson’s Massachusetts Regiment, and the 2d Rhode Island
Regiment, with a combined total enlistment, in December 1779, of 1,210
men. This site is privately owned and not accessible to park visitors.
The official uniform of both the Connecticut and Rhode Island troops was
blue, faced with white; the buttons and linings, white.
