Baum Site 5:The Clark's Mill Bridge

Baum's force hit their first minor setback as they reached Clark's Mill, which straddled the Batten Kill, a tributary of the Hudson River. Note that “Kill” is the Dutch word for a moving body of water, such as a river, stream or creek. Therefore, it is redundant to call it the Batten Kill River.
