[823] It is also in the St. Clair Papers, i. 76. See post, p. 352.
[824] Cf. further, Wilkinson's Memoir (ch. 5); Lossing's Schuyler (ii. 223), and his Field-Book (i. 145); Carrington's Battles (ch. 45); Henry Clark's Hist. Address, July 7, 1859 (Rutland, 1859); Stone's Beverley, Mass. (p. 75); Amos Churchill's Hist. of Hubbardton (1855); Hadden's Journal (App. no. 15); W. C. Watson in Amer. Hist. Record (ii. 455); beside such personal narratives as Enos Stone's Journal in N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg. (1861, p. 299,—he was made a prisoner), and the Narrative of the captivity & sufferings of Ebenezer Fletcher, of New Ipswich, who was severely wounded and taken prisoner at the battle of Hubbardston, Vt., in 1777, by the British and Indians (New Ipswich, N. H., 1813?).
There are letters of Stephen Peabody and Col. Bellows in N. H. State Papers, viii. 625. There is a British diary by Joshua Pell, Jr., published in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (ii. 107).
[825] There is a composite map in Carrington's Battles (p. 322), and another in Lossing's Field-Book (i. 145), with a view of the battlefield (p. 146).
[826] Cf. Vermont Hist. Soc. Coll., i. 181, 182, where much will be found from the Council of Safety's records and in letters from Schuyler and Warner. Cf. also N. H. State Papers, viii. 658.
[827] An earlier letter of Willet, July 28th, warning the people at German Flats, is in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (1884), p. 285. Cf. also Wm. M. Willet's Narrative of the Military actions of Col. Marinus Willet (N. Y., 1831), for Willet's hasty and his more leisurely accounts, which differ somewhat in minor details.
[828] This orderly-book was originally printed in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (March and April, 1881). The appended essays are incisive expressions of individual views at variance with general beliefs (cf. Mag. of Amer. Hist., March, 1883, p. 219), De Peyster defending Johnson, who was his great-uncle, from the charge of violating his parole, and Myers agreeing with him.
[829] It is reprinted in the Cent. Celebrations of N. Y. (1879, p. 55), where will be found other addresses and engraved views of the present aspect of the scene of the conflict (pp. 91, 127). These local associations are also traced in S. W. D. North's "Story of a Monument" in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (xii. 97,—Aug., 1884; cf. also vol. i. p. 641), giving views of the monuments, a suspicious portrait of Herkimer (p. 103), and a view of Herkimer's house (p. 111,—cf. Lossing, i. 260). On the various spellings of Herkimer's name, see Mag. of Amer. Hist., Aug., 1884, p. 283. Measures for erecting a monument to him are recorded in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Proc., 1845, p. 172. The later writers are H. R. Schoolcraft in the N. Y. Hist. Soc. Proc. (1845, p. 132); Bancroft (ix. 378); Irving's Washington (iii. ch. 15, 16, 17); Lossing's Schuyler (ii. 273), and his Field-Book (vol. i.); I. N. Arnold's Benedict Arnold (ch. 8); J. W. De Peyster in Hist. Mag. (xv. 38) and Mag. of Amer. Hist. (ii. 22); T. D. English in Harper's Monthly (xxiii. 327); H. C. Goodwin's Pioneer History of Cortland County; Benton's Herkimer County (ch. 5); Campbell's Tryon County (ch. 4); Pomroy Jones's Annals of Oneida County, with some local touches; Ketchum's Buffalo; S. W. D. North's "Historical Significance of the Battle" in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (i. 641); the appendix of Hadden's Journal (no. 17) for La Corne St. Luc; Hull's Revolutionary Services (ch. 8); Dawson's Battles (i. ch. 21); Carrington's Battles (ch. 45). The German accounts are given in Eelking's Die Deutschen Hülfstruppen, with more prominence naturally from the Hessian participants than the English or American narratives afford; and in Frederick Kapp's Die Deutschen im Staate New York (N. Y., 1884), equally glowing for his countrymen under Herkimer, on the other side. Cf. Lowell's Hessians. The story of Hanyost Schuyler's carrying a deceitful message from Arnold, which Dr. Belknap in 1796 picked up on the spot (Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xix. 408), and as told in Dwight's Travels (iii. 183), in Benton's Herkimer County (p. 82), and other later books, is denied by Dawson (i. 247).
[830] Gent. Mag., Mar., 1778; Burgoyne's State of the Expedition; App. to Roberts's Address; Dawson, i. 250; Cent. Celebrations of N. Y., p. 131, and the letter of Col. Daniel Claus, dated at Montreal, Oct. 16, 1777, (N. Y. Col. Docs., viii. 718; Cent. Celebrations of N. Y., p. 141; Roberts's Address, App.) The Tory account is in Jones's N. Y. during the Rev. (i. 216, with App., p. 700). St. Leger's retreat is described in a letter, Montreal, Sept. 4, 1777, in the Stopford Sackville Papers, printed in Ninth Report of the Hist. Mss. Commission (London, 1883, App. p. 87). The account of the Annual Register, 1777, is copied in the Cent. Celebrations of the State of N. Y. (p. 137), and is the basis of Andrews's History. Cf. Almon's Parliamentary debates (vol. viii.), and Beatson's Naval and Military Memoirs (vi. 69). The miniature of St. Leger, by R. Cosway, as engraved in the European Mag., 1795, is given in fac-simile in Stone's Campaign of Burgoyne. Cf. Johnson's Orderly-book and Hubbard's Red Jacket.
[831] It is also given in Hough's edition of Pouchot, i. 207, with a plan of the modern city of Rome, superposed. A plan of Rome in 1802, showing the position of the fort, is in the Doc. Hist. N. Y., iii. 687.
