The journal of Lemuel Lyon, during this expedition, makes part (pp. 11-45) of The military journals of two private soldiers, with illustrative notes by B. J. Lossing, published at Poughkeepsie in 1855. (Field, no. 963; Sabin, x. no. 42,860.) An account by Dr. James Searing is given in the N. Y. Hist. Soc. Proc., 1847, p. 112, and Rufus Putnam’s journal, 1757-1760, edited by E. C. Dawes (Albany, 1885), covers the campaign. A Scottish story of second sight,—a legend of Inverawe,—in reference to the death of Major Duncan Campbell in the fight, is given in Fraser’s Mag., vol. cii. p. 501, by A. P. Stanley; in the Atlantic Monthly, Apr., 1884, by C. F. Gordon-Cumming; and by Parkman (vol. ii., app., P. 433).
[1457] Vol. ii. p. 432.
[1458] A list of the killed and wounded of the English, from the London Mag., xxvii. p. 427, is in the N. Y. Col. Docs., x. 728. In a volume of miscel. MSS., 1632-1795, in the Mass. Hist. Society, there is a list of officers and soldiers killed and wounded in the attack on Ticonderoga, July 8, 1758, “from papers of Richard Peters, secretary of the governor of Pennsylvania.”
[1459] Other general sources: Entick; Hutchinson, iii. 70; Smith’s New York (1830), ii. 265; Trumbull’s Connecticut; Bancroft, orig. ed., iv. 298, final revision, ii. 486; Williams’ Vermont; Warburton’s Conquest of Canada, ii. ch. 5, who accuses Grahame (United States, ii. 279) of undue predilection for the provincial troops; Watson’s County of Essex, ch. 6; Stone, ii. 173, who neglects to say what part Johnson’s braves took in the fight; beside the general English historians, Smollett, Belsham, Mahon, etc.
[1460] Such are Montcalm’s letter to the Marshal de Belle Isle, July 12 (p. 732), his report to the same (p. 737), and his letter to Vaudreuil (p. 748). The governor made the victory the occasion of casting reproaches upon the general (p. 757), and Vaudreuil’s spirit of crimination is shown in his letter to De Massiac, Aug. 4 (p. 779), and in his observations on Montcalm’s account of the fight (p. 788, etc.), as well as in Vaudreuil’s letter to Montcalm, and the latter’s observations upon it (p. 800). The Coll. de Manuscrits (Quebec), vol. iv., has several documents, like Montcalm’s letters to Vaudreuil of July 9 and Oct. 21 (pp. 168, 201).
A letter of Doreil, dated at Quebec, July 28, is also in the N. Y. Col. Docs. (pp. 744, 753), as well as a reprint of an account printed at Rouen, Dec. 23, 1758 (p. 741). A Journal de l’affaire du Canada, passée le 8 Juillet, 1758, imprimé à Paris, 1758, is in the Coll. de Manuscrits (Quebec), iv. 219. There is a French letter (July 14) in the Penna. Archives, iii. 472, of which a translation is given in the N. Y. Col. Docs., x. p. 734. (Cf. also pp. 747 and 892.) The journal of military operations before Ticonderoga from June 30 to July 10 is in Ibid., p. 721, as well as a journal of occurrences, Oct. 20, 1757, to Oct. 20, 1758, which also rehearses the details of the fight (p. 844).
M. Daine, in a letter to Marshal de Belle Isle, dated Quebec, 31 July, 1758, gives him the details of the victory at Carillon, as he had collected them from the letters of different officers who were in the action. (N. Y. Col. Docs., x. 813.) It resembles Montcalm’s own letter to Vaudreuil.
