1 Stillwater is on the west bank of the Hudson,
in Saratoga county, twenty-four miles north from Albany. The battle of Bemis's heights
was fought near there, in 1777, and is sometimes known as the battle of
Stillwater. Opposite the mouth of the Hoosick river, at Stillwater, was a
stockade, called Fort Winslow.
