[1209] Lincoln's MS. orderly-book is in possession of Mr. Crosby, of Hingham, Mass. Johnston (Yorktown, p. 91, note) gives an order of Lincoln's as copied from the Lamb MSS. An orderly-book of General Gist belongs to the Maryland Hist. Soc. An Orderly-Book of the Second Battalion of the Penna. Troops before Yorktown is in Egle's Notes and Queries, 145-156. It runs, however, only to Sept. 14th. See also Feltman to Lieutenant Johnston, dated Yorktown, Oct. 10, 1781, in Egle (p. 132). There is a Journal of the Campaign by Lieutenant William Feltman, May, 1781-April, 1782 (Penn. Hist. Soc. Coll., 1853, and Penna. Archives, 2d ser., vol. xi.); and a Journal of the Siege of York in Virginia, by a chaplain of the American Army (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., iv. 102-108). From a reference in Thacher's Journal, Johnston (Yorktown, App., p. 196) infers that the latter appears to have been the work of Chaplain Evans, of Scammell's corps. A portion of the Military Journal of Major Ebenezer Denny relates to this siege (Penn. Hist. Soc. Mem., vii. 237-249). Another valuable journal is the one kept by Capt. John Davis, of the Pennsylvania line (Westchester Village Record, 1821, and Principles and Acts of the Revolution, 1st ed., p. 465, and 2d ed., p. 293, and entire from May 26, 1781, to June 10, 1782, in Penna.

[1210] It is entitled Journal of the Operations of the French Corps under the command of Count Rochambeau (Remembrancer, xiii. 35, and Pol. Mag., ii. 707). Portions are also in Tarleton's Campaigns, 443, taken, probably, from a diary which was afterwards printed in the Paris Gazette, Nov. 20, 1781, as Journal des Opérations du Corps Français sous le commandement du Comte de Rochambeau; also found in Two Letters respecting the conduct of Rear Admiral Graves, pp. 31, 32, and translated by Dawson, pp. 38, 39.

Hist., vii. 224, from Pennsylvania Packet of Feb. 21, 1782. See also the account in Rochambeau's Mémoires, i. 289-302; Wright's translation of above, 65-80; Soulés, Troubles, iii. 369-378, and 386-398,—attributed to Rochambeau; and Lauzun, Mémoires, 194-205.

[1212] The Magazine of American History contains two other journals which really formed a part of this diary, and were written by M. de Ménonville (vii. p 283-288), and by "the engineers" (vii. 449-452).
[1213] The original Journal de Campagne de Claude Blanchard, ed. by Maurice La Chesnais, was published in Paris, 1869.

[1215] At a later day it was charged that Lafayette had ordered the garrison of the small redoubt to be put to the sword in revenge for the murder of Alexander Scammell. Of course the charge was false. It led to a correspondence between Lafayette and Hamilton. Cf. Mag. of Amer. Hist., vii. 363 et seq., and Hamilton's Works, vi. 555. Lafayette's narrative, as he gave it to Sparks, is in the Sparks MSS., no. xxxii.
