[856] Also N. Y. Hist. Coll., 1879. Cf. Geo. W. Schuyler's Colonial New York, ii. 267; Amer. Hist. Record, ii. 145. The jealousy, or rather dislike, of Schuyler on the part of New England men was the natural result of the contact of commander and subordinates so strongly opposed as an aristocratic Knickerbocker and the self-willed democrats of the Eastern States. Cf., on this antagonism, John Adams's Works, iii. 87; Graydon's Memoirs, passim; Gordon, ii. 331; Irving's Washington, iii. 128, etc. A survival of the feelings had doubtless colored some of the later estimates of Schuyler's character, and the opposing views can be seen in Lossing's Schuyler (ii. 325, etc.) and in Bancroft's United States. Cf. also Geo. L. Schuyler's Correspondence and Remarks upon Bancroft's History of the Northern Campaign of 1777 and the character of General Schuyler. The dissatisfaction with Schuyler was not, however, confined to New England. Reference seems to be made to him as an "infamous villain" in the letters of Samuel Kennedy, a surgeon of Pennsylvania troops (Penna. Mag. of Hist., viii. 114, where he is presumably spoken of as "G. S ... r").
[857] Lincoln's orders, Aug. 4th, are in the Sparks MSS., lxvi.
[858] The following orderly-books and journals of the campaign have been noted:—
Orderly book of lieut. gen. John Burgoyne, from his entry into the state of New York until his surrender at Saratoga, 16th Oct. 1777. From the original manuscript deposited at Washington's head quarters, Newburgh, N. Y. Edited by E. B. O'Callaghan (Albany, 1860), being no. 7 of Munsell's Historical Series. (Cf. J. T. Headley in The Galaxy, xxii. 604.) Gen. Horatio Rogers is satisfied that this Newburgh MS. is not an original record; and he has printed in his Hadden's Journal such records as are either defectively printed by O'Callaghan or not printed at all. Burgoyne's orders to the inhabitants of Castleton are in the N. H. State Papers, viii. 625, 658. There was published at Albany in 1882, as no. 12 of Munsell's Historical Series, a book entitled Hadden's journal and orderly books. A journal kept in Canada and upon Burgoyne's campaign in 1776 and 1777, by Lieutenant James Murray Madden. Also orders kept by him and issued by Sir Guy Carleton, Lieut. General Burgoyne and Major General William Phillips, in 1776, 1777, and 1778. With an explanatory chapter and notes by Horatio Rogers. Respecting this publication, Mr. William L. Stone says:—
"The journal of Lieutenant Hadden is, perhaps, one of the most important manuscript documents bearing upon Burgoyne's campaign that has yet been discovered. This journal formerly belonged to William Cobbett of London. The elaborate maps with which the writer has interspersed his journal fully indicate the importance of the strategical positions taken by Schuyler previous to Gates assuming the command. Besides the journal there are several orderly-books, in which the proceedings of the British army from day to day are minutely set forth. In the manuscript book at Washington's headquarters at Newburgh, the order of the day for 19th of August, 1777, is missing. This missing link, however, is supplied by Hadden, who gives it in full, and it proves to have been an order issued by Major-General Phillips, in the absence, that day, of General Burgoyne, as follows: 'Major-General Phillips,' reads the missing order for the 19th, 'has heard with the utmost astonishment, that, notwithstanding his most serious and positive orders of the 16th instant, that no carts should be used for any purpose whatever but the transport of provisions, unless by particular orders from the commander-in-chief as expressed in the order, there are this day above thirty carts on the road laden with baggage said to be their Lieutenant-General's.'"
The Hadden journals and orderly-books were bought in 1875 by General Rogers, having passed through Henry Stevens's hands, and are carefully printed, with fac-similes of the MS. maps accompanying them.
Supplementing these, the following orderly-books may be mentioned:—
Henry B. Livingston's.—Troops under Gen. Schuyler, St. Clair, &c. Ticonderoga, Stillwater, &c., June 13 to August 19, 1777.
Gen. Philip Schuyler's.—Fort Edward, Albany, June 29 to August 18, 1777.
Camp at Stillwater, Saratoga and Albany, &c. August 12 to November 4, 1774.
