A topographical Map of Hudson's River, ... also the Communication with Canada by Lake George and Lake Champlain, as high as Fort Chambly, by Claude Joseph Sauthier. Engraved by Wm. Faden, published (London) Oct. 1, 1776.
A map of the inhabited parts of Canada, from the French surveys, with the frontiers of New York and New England, from the large survey by Claude Joseph Sauthier, engraved by Wm. Faden (London), 1777. It is dedicated to Burgoyne, and in the margin is a table showing the various winter-quarters of the king's army in Canada in 1776. In 1777, Le Rouge, in Paris, reproduced Sauthier's drafts as Cours de la rivière d'Hudson et la Communication avec le Canada par le lac Champlain jusqu'au Fort Chambly. (Cf. the map in the Atlas Amériquain, no. 23.) Sauthier's surveys were also used in a map of New York and adjacent provinces, published at Augsburg in 1777, which is reproduced in Jones's N. Y. during the Rev. (vol. i.). The Gentleman's Mag., Jan., 1778, had a map of the Hudson River and the adjacent country. The London Mag., 1778, had a map showing the country between Albany and Ticonderoga. It was drawn by Thomas Kitchin, who in the same year made a map of the Hudson and adjacent parts from Albany to New York.
In 1780 (Feb. 1st) Faden published a more detailed map as drawn by Mr. Medcalfe, and called A map of the Country in which the army under Lieutenant-General Burgoyne acted in the Campaign of 1777, shewing the marches of the army and the places of the principal actions. (Cf. map in Stedman, reproduced in illus. ed. of Irving's Washington, iii. 93.)
The maps as given in Burgoyne's State of the Expedition from Canada (London, 1780) are those usually followed. The original MS. drafts of these, used for engraving them, are among the Faden maps (nos. 66-69) in the library of Congress. A general map of the campaign is given in Hilliard d'Auberteuil's Essais (i. 205).
There is in Hadden's Journal (p. 90) a drawn map of the campaign between Crown Point and Stillwater, showing the marches of the British army and the points of conflict. Among the Faden maps (nos. 62, 63) in the library of Congress is a MS. map of "Lake Champlain and Lake George, and the country between the Hudson and the lakes on the west and the Connecticut on the east." There are later and eclectic maps given in Gordon's American Revolution; Anburey's Travels; Neilson's Burgoyne's Campaign, used and corrected by Stone in his Campaign of Burgoyne; Carrington's Battles (312); Burgoyne's Orderly-Book; Mag. of Amer. Hist. (May, 1877).

[820] The life and Public services of Arthur St. Clair, with his correspondence and other papers arranged and annotated by Wm. Henry Smith. The correspondence begins in 1771. H. P. Johnston thinks Smith too sweeping and injudicial in his editing (Mag. of Amer. Hist., Aug., 1882). St. Clair took command at Ticonderoga June 12th. Smith includes in his book the proceedings of the councils of war (pp. 404, 420), and the various letters of St. Clair, respecting his retreat, to Bowdoin (also in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., vi. 356), Hancock, Jay, Washington, and others (pp. 396, 414, 423, 425, 426, 429, 433). Cf. Dawson's Battles. St. Clair's letter, July 7th, at Otter Creek, to the president of the Convention of Vermont, is in N. H. State Papers, viii. 618.
[821] Sparks MSS., no. xxix. The papers of the trial of St. Clair are in Ibid., xlix., vol. ii. Congress ordered the inquiry (N. H. State Papers, viii. 649). There are other contemporary accounts of the evacuation in Moore's Diary of the Revolution (p. 470); Wilkinson's Memoirs (ch. 4 and 5); original documents in 5 Force's Archives, vols. i., ii., and iii., and in Mag. of Amer. Hist. (Aug., 1882); letter of Asa Fitch, Hist. Mag. (iii. 7); a diary among the Moses Greenleaf's MSS. (Mass. Hist. Society), beginning April 23, 1777, and ending Nov. 22d, near Philadelphia; a diary of Samuel Sweat (June 18, 1777, etc.) in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc. (vol. xvii. 287). A letter of one Cogan complains of the unnecessary retreat (N. H. State Papers, viii. 640), and other accounts and comment of that day, in Sparks's Washington, vol. v.; Heath Papers (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll.), p. 65.
