[1285] Parkman also characterizes as “short and very incorrect” the abstract of it which is printed in the N. Y. Col. Docs., vol. x.
[1286] Cf. letter of Contrecœur in the Précis des Faits; in Pouchot’s Mémoire sur la dernière Guerre, i. p. 14 (also Hough’s translation); in Le Politique Danois, ou l’ambition des Anglais demasquée par leurs Pirateries, Copenhagen, 1756 (Stevens, Bibliotheca Geographica, no. 2,212; Sabin, xv. no. 63,831); in Histoire de la Guerre contre les Anglois (Geneva, 1759, two vols.), attributed to Puellin de Lumina, who speaks of “le cruel Washington;” in Thomas Balch’s Les Français en Amérique (p. 45); in Dussieux’s Le Canada sous la domination Française, 118; in Gaspe’s Anciens Canadiens, 396. There are other particular references given by Parkman. Garneau’s account and inferences in his Histoire du Canada are held to be strictly impartial. Jumonville’s loss is noted in the Collection de Manuscrits, etc. (Quebec, 1884), vol. iii. p. 521.
[1287] Poole’s Index refers to the following: “Washington and the death of Jumonville,” by W. T. Anderson, in Canadian Monthly, i. p. 55; “Washington and the Jumonville of M. Thomas,” in Historical Magazine, vi. 201. The “Jumonville” of Thomas was a poem published in 1759, reflecting severely on Washington, and may be found in Œuvres de Thomas, par M. Saint-Surin, v. p. 47. Peter Fontaine represents the current opinion among the English, as to Jumonville’s action, when he says that the French “were in ambush in the woods waiting for” Washington. (Maury’s Huguenot Family, 361.) It is not necessary to particularize the references to Smollett, and Mahon, Marshall’s Washington, Warburton’s Conquest of Canada, and other obvious books; though something of local help will be found in W. H. Lowdermilk’s History of Cumberland, Maryland, from 1728 up to the present day, embracing an account of Washington’s first campaign, and battle of Fort Necessity, with a history of Braddock’s expedition, etc., Washington, 1878. Sargent also goes over the events in the introduction to his Braddock’s Expedition, p. 43, etc., and epitomizes the account by Adam Stephen in the Pennsylvania Gazette, no. 1,343.
