[849] Cf. Mag. of Amer. Hist. (May, 1879, p. 310), and B. W. Throckmorton's address on Arnold in W. I. Stone's Memoir of the Centennial Celebration of Burgoyne's Surrender (Albany, 1878). Col. Brooks, as reported by Gen. W. H. Sumner in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc. (Feb., 1858, ii. 273), gave some reminiscences of Arnold's conduct. The surgeon attending Arnold said "his peevishness would degrade the most capricious of the fair sex" (N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1864, p. 34).
[850] Stone (Campaign of Burgoyne, App. 5) also gives Woodruff's and Neilson's reminiscences. See also Stone's Life of Brant (i. 475). Cf. Wilkinson's Memoirs; Lossing's Schuyler (ii. 365), and his Field-Book; Hull's Revolutionary Services (ch. 10); Bowen's Lincoln; Irving's Washington (iii. ch. 22); Creasy's Decisive Battles of the World; Dawson (p. 291); Carrington (ch. 47); A. B. Street in Hist. Mag. (March, 1858). Silliman's account of his visit to the battlefield is in the App. of Stone's Burgoyne's Campaign. Stone in the notes to his translation of Pausch (pp. 175-6) enumerates what remains there are at the present day on the battle-ground of Oct. 7 to enable one to identify the points of the conflict. Gen. Hoyt's description of the battlefield in 1825 is given in Hinton's United States, Amer. ed., i. p. 264.
[851] Cf. Fonblanque's Burgoyne, p. 300; Rogers's Hadden's Journal, p. liii.; Hist. Mag. (ii. 121); Once a Week (xviii. 520); Potter's Amer. Monthly (vii. 191); Ellet's Women of the Amer. Rev., vol. i. There are portraits of Lady Acland in Burgoyne's Orderly-Book, in Bloodgood's Sexagenary, and Stone's Campaign of Burgoyne. Reminiscences of her later life are given in the Mag. of Amer. Hist., Aug., 1886, p. 193. The house to which the wounded Major Acland was borne is still standing, though much changed (Mag. of Amer. Hist., vii. 226). It was the Neilson house, used as headquarters by Morgan and Poor.
[852] A naval brigade under young Pellew, afterwards Viscount Exmouth, was not allowed by Burgoyne to cut its way through the American lines, in place of surrendering (Osler's Life of Exmouth, London, 1835, p. 39).
A view of the field of surrender is in the Cent. Celebrations of N. Y. (p. 301). An old print of Burgoyne's camp is copied in Lossing's Field-Book (i. 57). Cf. Anburey's Travels.
[853] It is also in the Brief Examination; Dawson (i. 305, with accompanying private letter); Gent. Mag. (Dec., 1777); Fonblanque's Burgoyne (p. 313). Riedesel in his Memoirs comments on Burgoyne's despatch.
In general, for American authorities on the surrender, see Wilkinson (ch. 8); Bancroft (ix. ch. 24); Irving's Washington (iii. 22); Lossing's Schuyler (ii. ch. 21); Stone's Campaign of Burgoyne; Bloodgood's Sexagenary, which shows the effect of Burgoyne's march on the country people; Lowell's Hessians (p. 162); Harper's Mag. (Aug., 1876); Mrs. E. H. Walworth in Mag. of Amer. Hist. (May, 1877,—i. 273-302). Loubat, Medallic Hist. of the U. S., describes the medal given to Gates.
On the British side there are Jones's New York during the Rev. (i. 201, etc.); Fonblanque's Burgoyne (ch. 7); Mahon's England (vi. 207); G. R. Gleig in Good Words (xii. 849); Blackwood's Mag. (lxiii. 332, cxiii. 427; or Living Age, xvii. 226, cxvii. 543).
[854] There is an account of prisoners and stores in N. H. State Papers, viii. 708.
