This afternoon, as I made my way to our new “Advance Party Bivouac Area,” I brought with me three things for Capt. Morgan.

First, the background on Colonel Arnold’s Adjutant, Captain Hans Christian Febiger; and his humble description of his own, experience, and courage.

Second, Capt. Febiger’s and my conclusion—the Montresor/Goodwin map we faithfully copied—was hopelessly inaccurate. The scale, routing, and obstacles depicted simply could not match the estimated “200-mile River & Overland” route forecast in Goodwin’s notes. We estimated it might even be twice that distance.

Third, as directed, I brought with me the two best tracings of the original map, “Certified by Capt. H. C. Febiger as, ‘A True Copy of The Original, however inaccurate map, as Prepared by The Virginia Rifle Company Chief Cartographer, Ensign Nathanael Newman.’”
