The Stockbridge Mohican Militia Company in the American Revolution

Emerging Revolutionary War welcomes back guest historian Larry Howard. From 1775 to 1777, Mohican Indians from Stockbridge, Massachusetts, formed a Patriot militia company that served in the American revolution, including the siege of Boston, the capture and siege of Fort Ticonderoga, the Battle of Saratoga, and the Battle of Monmouth. In the summer of 1789, while patrolling in the Kingsbridge, New York, area in what is now the Bronx, the Stockbridge company was attacked by British Lt. Col. John Simcoe’s Loyalist Queen’s Rangers in a battle alternately known as the Battle of Kingsbridge, the Battle of Cortland Ridge, or the Battle of Van Cortlandt’s Woods. It is also known as the Stockbridge Massacre, because the Queens’ Rangers killed an estimated forty Stockbridge Indians. The Rangers had one soldier killed and three wounded. This ended the Stockbridge Indian militia company’s service.

Democrats extend rare run of control in Dutchess County Legislature

In 2025, Democrats took the majority in the Dutchess County Legislature, 15-10. That majority is poised to be held onto in 2027, with a slightly larger margin. According to unofficial results posted by the Dutchess County Board of Elections, the legislature will have a Democratic majority until the next even-year election in 2028. Before 2025, the Democrats last secured a majority in 2007, for a two-year period from 2008 to 2009 . Before that, Democrats had not controlled the legislature since 1977, according to Journal archives. Democratic candidates are poised to take 16 of the 25 district seats up for election this year. "Last night was a powerful reminder of what we accomplish when we vote, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who prioritized making their voice heard at the ballot box," said Yvette Valdés Smith, legislature majority leader, in a statement. "Thank you to the voters for the continued confidence in our Democratic majority." Valdés Smith said the legislature is committed to "delivering on affordability, better transit, housing, and strong, reliable county services that you count on every day." "The Democratic majority works for the people," she said. "We will continue to deliver for our communities." Mike Polasek,
