[1464] Called “Molong” by the early chroniclers on the English side, and even by Tarbox, in his Life of Putnam. Parkman says Humphreys’ account of the battle is erroneous at several points. There are details in Rogers’ Journals; in a record by Thomson Maxwell in the Hist. Coll. of the Essex Institute, vii. 97; in Gentleman’s Mag., 1758, p. 498; in Boston Gazette, no. 117; in N. H. Gazette, no. 104; beside, on the French side, in the Paris documents of the Parkman MSS. Cf. account of the ground in Lossing’s Field-Book of the Rev., i. 140, and Holden’s Queensbury, p. 325. A letter of Oliver Partridge, Sept., 1758 (Israel Williams MSS.), describes the movements of Rogers.
[1465] Bradstreet himself is thought to have had a hand in An Impartial Account of Lieut.-Col. Bradstreet’s Expedition to Fort Frontenac, by a Volunteer on the Expedition, London, 1759. (Carter-Brown, iii. 1,203; Field, Indian Bibliog., no. 171; Bost. Pub. Library, H. 95.74; Brinley, i. 210.) There is in Harvard College library a copy of a MS. which belonged in 1848 to Lyman Watkins, of Walpole, N. H., and is called A Journal of the Expedition against Fort Frontenac in 1758, by Lieut. Benjamin Bass, with lists of officers, etc. (H. C., 5325.51.) Fort Frontenac, after its capture, is described in a Letter to the Right Hon. William Pitt, Esq., from an officer at Fort Frontenac, London, 1759. (Carter-Brown, iii. 1,223; Sabin, x. 40,533.)
[1466] His letter announcing the occupation is in Penna. Archives, viii. 232, and N. Y. Col. Docs., x. 905.
[1467] Parkman’s notes on these indicate that in Sparks, ii. p. 293, the letter is abbreviated and altered; p. 295 is altered; p. 297 is varied; p. 299 has great variations; p. 302 has variations; p. 307 is shortened and changed; p. 310 has variations.

[1469] Bibliog. of Ohio, no. 939; Sabin, xv. 64,453; Field, no. 1,233. It is reprinted in Proud’s Hist. of Penna., ii., app.; Rupp’s Early Hist. of Western Penna., p. 99; Olden Time, i. 98; Penna. Archives, iii. 520 (cf. also pp. 412, 560). Stone, Life of Johnson, ii. ch. 4, magnifies Johnson’s influence in this pacification of the Indians. Cf. Parkman’s Pontiac, i. 143.
