Scope and Content Note: The orderly book of the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, 1778-1783, copied by Draper in 1851 from the original then owned by Dr. William A. Irvine, grandson of General Irvine. It contains orders of three commanders at Fort Pitt: Lachlan McIntosh (1778-1779); Daniel Brodhead (1779-1781); and William Irvine (1781-1783). Also included are orders covering the regiment's march from Lancaster to Fort Pitt (1778) and on the expedition (1778) to found Fort Laurens on the Tuscarawas River in Ohio. The transcript was indexed by Draper. The entries for 1778-1780 were published by Louise Phelps Kellogg in Frontier Advance on the Upper Ohio, 1778-1779 (Madison, 1916) and Frontier Retreat on the Upper Ohio, 1779-1781 (Madison, 1917).
