Washington and His Comrades in Arms: A Chronicle of the War of Independence

by George McKinnon Wrong

CHAPTERS IV, V, AND VI.

The three campaigns—New York, Philadelphia, and the Hudson—are covered by C. F. Adams, Studies Military and Diplomatic (1911), which makes severe strictures on Washington's strategy; H. P. Johnston's “Campaign of 1776 around New York and Brooklyn,” in the Long Island Historical Society's Memoirs, and Battle of Harlem Heights (1897); Carrington, Battles of the American Revolution (1904); Stryker, The Battles of Trenton and Princeton (1898); Lucas, History of Canada (1909). Fonblanque's John Burgoyne (1876) is a defense of that leader; while Riedesel's Letters and Journals Relating to the War of the American Revolution (trans. W. L. Stone, 1867) and Anburey's Travels through the Interior Parts of America (1789) are accounts by eye-witnesses. Mereness' (editor) Travels in the American Colonies, 1690-1783 (1916) gives the impressions of Lord Adam Gordon and others.
