Were these captured soldiers the remnants of Gentleman Johnny’s force at Saratoga? IIRC, elements of the 1st NH regiment had escort duty. Thought some prisoners came from Rhode Island too.

“Massachusetts was only too happy to pass its problem to Virginia. The British and Hessians left behind most of their belongings and marched through blizzards, passing what one called the “quite grand’’ houses of Cambridge, the “antique Roman’’ buildings of Harvard College, the “thriving little city’’ of Worcester, and the “tolerably kind, but damned inquisitive’’ people of Springfield.”

Not the route I would take if I was WALKING...driving my T-Bird, maybe. Something weird about this piece.

One of these camps was located about 15 miles northeast of Lexington, Virginia on the east side of what is now I-81. There is a budget motel (Day’s Inn, if I recall) there known as “Hessian House”. The check-in lobby is the original stone building which served as the command headquarters to that camp. The workmanship and history is far more impressive than the motel.
