Rand & Avery, 1855, p 99-100 REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS from BATH NH During the War, as already stated, Col. Timothy Bedel raised four regiments, two of which he commanded and led to Canada. Gen. Absalmon Peters (who died at Lebanon CT at a very advanced age) was Aid-de-camp to Gen. Jacob Bailey, of Newbury VT and commanded the fort in Bath during a considerable part of the war. Among other amusing anecdotes, he used to tell how he drilled his men with cornstalks instead of gun, for the purpose of frightening the Indians, and how severely their courage was once tried by the appearance of a squaw--referring to the alarm occasioned by "Black Sarah," as narrated by Mrs. Smith.
