Note written by Luke Swatland on cowhide, previously believed to be human skin. The note indicates it was written on the skin of a man scalped and killed by Indigenous peoples during a battle, and describes the death of other men and movement to Albany as a part of General John Sullivan's troops. The note is signed "Luke Swaatland of Wyoming. Sept. 13th 1779." Analysis performed by Dan Kirby Analytical Services in December 2015 concluded the note is written on cowhide.
