context_page_description: The Boyd and Parker ambush was a minor military engagement in Groveland, New York on September 13, 1779, during the American Revolutionary War. A scout group of the Sullivan Expedition was ambushed and captured by Loyalists and their Seneca Indian allies led by Little Beard.
context_section_description: Two days later the ambush site was discovered by Sullivan’s army and the men were buried with military honors.  The army went on, as instructed by George Washington, to destroy acres of crops and burn Little Beard’s town to the ground. Many of the men in the army were so impressed with the agricultural abilities of the land that they returned with their families to this region after the war.
