Outside of New York the British did not possess a strong fortress in the country, at least in the interior, except on Lake Champlain, not one in New England. West Point, therefore, was a great eyesore to the English generals and admirals. Its possession would be of incalculable advantage in case any expedition was sent to the North.
I had no idea that mere bones were capable of furnishing so much information to a man of science.

It was the only remaining link between me and the disappearance.
