Neutral ground,

A tract of territory that extended along the eastern side of the Hudson River northward from Spuyten Duyvil Creek 40 miles or more. This region, during the occupancy of New York City by the British, 1776-83, suffered much from marauders, both American and British; the former were termed “Skinners,” and the latter “Cowboys.”
