This French and Indian War dated campaign size powder horn was carried by Ebenezer French of the Tryon County Militia during the American Revolution.  The horn is over 17" with a 4" wooden plug.  As you can see in the photo's it's developed a beautiful orange patina. The British Coat of Arms with the  Unicorn and Lion are depicted in the middle of the horn as we were still a English colony in 1760.   The map on the horn consists of   New York City & Long Island  at the base then up the Hudson River to Albany.  North of Albany it's splits with one route following the Mohawk River and ending at Oswego and Lake Ontario. The other route continues north up the Hudson River into Lake George passing Ft. Edwards  and ending at S.Bay.  The names of the cities and forts are mostly spelled phonetically (ex. Abeny,Lake Antero,Sknactey etc.)  Also, depicted is a man behind a tree taking aim on three soldiers with muskets. Above that is a carving of six soldiers marching with muskets.
The horn is carved with the owners name Ebenezer French and date June 28,1760 .  In my research I found two men with this name listed in the Rev.War archives one was from Massachusetts and the other New York. Seeing as this is a map horn of New York State I eliminated the Massachusett's man. Ebenezer French is listed as serving in the Tryon County Militia 3rd Regiment . The Tryon County Militia  was involved in some of the bloodiest fighting of the War. The movie "Drums along the Mohawk" was based on their participation in the Battle of Oriskany. They also participated in the Attack on German Flatts, Saratoga ,Stona Arabia, Cherry Valley Massacre, Klocks Field and Johnstown.  A really historic horn that was originally in the Jim Dresslar collection which is who I acquired it from.  A thick folder containing my research will come with this wonderful horn.
