Description: "View of the Camp Ground. This is from a painting by Tice, in my possession. The land on which the encampment on the west side of the meadow was, in now owned chiefly by Gilbert Tompkins and Nathaniel Moore. This view is from the land of Mr. Tompkins, looking east-southeast. On the slopes seen in the foreground, and on the margine of the meadow beyond Van Cortlandt's New York regiment, and the Maryland and Virginia troops were encamped. On the east side of the meadow, upon the most distant elevation in the middle ground, the New England troops were stationed. On the slope toward the right o that elevation stood the Temple. In the distance is seen the upper entrance of the Hudston into the Highlands. The meadow was formerly called Beayer Dam Swamp, from the circumstance that beavers constructed dams at the lower extremity, causing the waters to overflow the low grounds."—Lossing, 1851
