This Day in History: August 29

On this day in 1779, at what is modern-day Elmira, New York, near the state’s southwestern border with Pennsylvania, Continental forces led by Major General John Sullivan and Brigadier General James Clinton defeat a combined force of Loyalists and Indians commanded by Captain Walter Butler and Chief Joseph Brant.
I didn't post over the weekend and forgot to include this on Monday, so here are the history links for:
August 26: "Washington Urges Hessians to Desert"
August 27: "Howe Brothers Defeat Washington in Battle of Brooklyn Heights"
August 28: "St. Elizabeth Born in New York City"
