[1423] Hough’s ed., p. 9; Parkman, i. p. 437.
[1424] The best later accounts are in Parkman (vol. i. 431), Stone’s Johnson (ii. 20), and the papers by J. B. Walker in the Granite Monthly, viii. 19, and Bay State Monthly, Jan., 1885, p. 211. Sabine has a sketch of Rogers in his Amer. Loyalists, and more or less of local interest can be gathered from H. H. Saunderson’s Charlestown, N. H., ch. 5 and 6; N. Bouton’s Concord, N. H., ch. 6; Caleb Stark’s Dunbarton, N. H., p. 178; and Worcester’s Hollis, N. H., p. 98. Caleb Stark prints a sketch of Rogers in his Memoir of Gen. Stark. Cf. references in N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., Apr., 1885, p. 196.
The officers of Rogers’ Rangers are given in the Report of the Adj.-Gen. of N. H., vol. ii. p. 158, etc., but it is there stated that but few fragments remain of their rolls.
There is an account by Asa Fitch of the affair of Jan., 1757, in the N. Y. State Agric. Soc. Trans., 1848, p. 917. The legend of “Rogers’ slide,” near the lower end of Lake George, has no stable foundation. Hough’s ed. of Journals, p. 101.

[1428] Some of these are printed in the N. Y. Col. Docs., x., like Vaudreuil’s letter (p. 542), enclosing an extended narrative (p. 544), Montcalm to D’Argenson (p. 548), to M. de Paulmy (p. 554), beside other statements (p. 570, etc.).
[1429] The general accounts which had been earlier printed, and which were based on contemporary reports, were, on the English side, in John Knox’s Historical Journal of the Campaigns, 1757-60 (London, 1769), Mante’s History of the Late War (London, 1772, pp. 82-85), and Smith’s New York, ii. 246. To these may be added the reports which were printed in the newspapers and magazines of the time, like the Boston Gazette and the London Magazine. An important letter of John Burk from the camp at Fort Edward, July 28, 1757, is in the Israel Williams MSS. (Mass. Hist. Soc.).
[1430] Col. Frye’s “Journal of an attack on Fort William Henry, Aug. 3-9” is printed in Oliver Oldschool’s (Dennie’s) Portfolio, xxi. 355 (May, 1819).
