McGOWN'S PASS IN WAR OF THE REVOLUTION.
The commanding position of McGovvn's Pass on the main north-and-south highway of Manhattan Island, midway between its extremities, and at a point where the encroach- ment of Harlem Creek and marsh narrowed the island to a width of only ...about 2,100 yards, gave this place and the adjacent heights dominating Harlem Plain great strategic value to the military engineer. A British description of New York Island during the Revolution refers to McGown's Pass as a place " where a few troops might stop an army " (47).
The active military history of the place begins with the occupation of the Island by the British on September 15, 1776, although prior to that date many bodies of troops had marched up or down through the Pass, and many a train of heavy wagons or artillery had plodded by the old tavern on the way from or to the then distant City.
