and the American people. An often overlooked fact about the Revolutionary War is that over 13,000 Native Americans took part in the conflict. the majority on the side of the British. But today, Craig Dumae of the Grateful Nation Project Tells the story of one man who broke ranks and fought alongside Washington's army. Let's get into the story.
Take it away, Craig. Yeah. Daniel Nimham was a diplomat, a warrior, and the last sachem, or leader. of the Wapanger tribe in New York's Hudson Valley. Fighting for the British during the French and Indian War and later against them in the Revolutionary War, Nimhem was commissioned as a captain in the Continental Army.
He was with General George Washington at Valley Forge and later gave his life for the American cause. refusing to surrender in the Battle of Kingsbridge in august seventeen seventy eight. Prior to the Revolutionary War, the Wapinger people lived along the eastern banks of the Hudson River. From New York's Manhattan Island to Connecticut. In most Algonquin languages, Wabbinger.
can be translated as Easterner. Their name for what was later called the Hudson River, was Mahi Cantok. or the river that flows both ways, because of the incoming flow of the ocean tide against the river's natural current. As war, epidemic diseases, and intermingling with other area tribes reduced the Wapingers' numbers to the hundreds. Daniel Nymham was born sometime around 1726.
By the mid seventeen hundreds Nimhem had encountered European settlers of the valley as a young man. He learned English and kept friendly relations with them. As an adult, he became the sechim of his people. An experienced warrior and diplomat, Nimhim and some 300 Wappinger men fought on the side of the British during the French and Indian War. At that time, New York and Connecticut were colonies under the British crown.
Nimhem and the Wapinger people became embroiled in a dispute when the family of Adolphus Phillips, a wealthy New York City merchant, made an expanded land claim into Wappinger Territory. Daniel Nimham had developed a reputation for diplomacy and traveled to England to petition his case. Returning home, his dispute came before the New York Common Council in 1765. even with a questionable deed presented by the defendant, Phillips, and being reluctant to set an adverse precedent, the council ruled against Nimham and the Wapinger people. Having fought for the British crown, the decision left a bitter taste in the mouths of the Wappingers.
When the colonies revolted against England and declared independence on July 4, 1776, Daniel Nimham and his people joined the cause. He saw the value of the Patriot cause and likely understood the possibility of negotiating the return of Wapingerland if he was to fight alongside the colonists. Nimhem was given a commission as a captain in the Continental Army. He was essential in developing an important force for the American Rebellion, having recruited warriors from native communities stretching from Canada to the Ohio Valley. Daniel's son Abram Nimhem was given command of the 60-man Stockbridge Indian Company, based out of Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
a Hessian officer, Johann Ibn Ewald, describe the native warriors. Their costume was a shirt of coarse linen down to the knees, long trousers also of linen down to the feet, on which they wore shoes of deerskin. and the head was covered with a hat made of bast or plant fiber. Their weapons were a rifle or musket, a quiver with some twenty arrows, and a short battle axe which they know how to throw very skilfully. Through the nose and in the ears they wore rings, and on their heads only the hair of the crown remained, standing in a circle the size of a dollar piece.
the remainder being shaved off bare. They pull out with pincers all the hairs of the beard, as well as those of all the other parts of the body. When the fighting began, Daniel Nimham joined his son's Stockbridge Company Militia Scouts. Daniel and Abraham served alongside General George Washington at Valley Forge, fought in the Battle of Saratoga in New York, and in the fighting at Cambridge, Massachusetts. They also supported troops led by the Allied French General Marquis de Lafayette.
Serving under Virginian General Charles Scott in 1778, the Stockbridge Militia Company was assigned to patrol the northern border of New York City, then controlled by the British, and gather intelligence on enemy movements. On August 20, 1778, The Stockridge Company ambushed a British force north of New York City, killing one light cavalryman and wounding another. News of the attack spread. the British put together a force of five hundred British regular troops, Hessians, which were German troops hired by the British, and Loyalists, which were colonists loyal to the Crown.
Okay.
Okay.
Eleven days later, on August 31, 1778, the British set a trap for the Stockbridge militia on Cortlands Ridge, in what is today the Bronxborough of New York City. Nimham's 60 warriors were drawn into the open when they saw a group of Hessian forces and British Lieutenant Colonel John Graves Simcoe's light infantry struck and hit the Stockbridge Company's left flank. Surrounded and outnumbered more than eight to one, the Stockbridge Company fought back in hand-to-hand combat. Simcoe later described the bloody scene that became known as the Battle of Kingsbridge or the Stockbridge Massacre. The Indians fought most gallantly.
They pulled more than one of the cavalry from their horses. Simcoe recounted that Daniel Nimham called out to his warriors that, quote, he was old and would stand and die there, end quote. He was cut down and killed by Private Edward White, a British light cavalryman. Abram Nimhem would also be lost in the battle. In New York City's Vancourtland Park, A chief Nimhem Memorial Monument has been placed on the field where the Wappinger, now called Stockbridge Warriors, gave their lives for the American cause.
In Putnam County, New York, overlooking the Hudson River, Mount Nimhem was named in his honor. After American independence was won, General Washington wrote that the Stockbridge River Remain firmly attached to us and have fought and bled by our side, that we consider them as friends and brothers.
