[The following narratives have been written by parties actively engaged in the campaign. Some are valuable, others are untrustworthy, and well calculated to mislead:] XXIX.--DAVIS, NATHAN. Private in the First New Hampshire Regiment. Published in the Historical Magazine, April, 1868, p. 198. XXX.--GANO, REV. JOHN, Chaplain in Clinton's Brigade. Published in the Historical Magazine, November, 1861, p. 330. XXXI.--SALMON, JOHN. Published in Seaver's Life of Mary Jemison. XXXII.--VAN CAMPEN, MOSES. Appears in a memorial to Congress for a pension. XXXIII.--VAN CORTLANDT, PHILIP, Colonel commanding Second New York Regiment. Autobiography written in 1825. Published in full in Magazine of American History, May, 1878. XXXIV.--MAXWELL, Major. Published in Vol. VII of the Historical Collections of the Essex Institute, p. 97. XXXV.--LODGE, CAPT. BENJAMIN was in charge of a party that accompanied the army from Easton, and with compass and chain surveyed the entire route to the Genesee river. On the return march, commencing at Kanadaseaga, the party accompanied Colonel Butler and made a like survey along the east side of Cayuga Lake, connecting with the main line near present Horseheads. But one section of the map has been found, and that was among the papers of Captain Machin, an artillery officer. The original is now in the hands of J.R. Symms, Esq., of Fort Plain, N.Y. Several parties have photographic copies. This section extends north of Tioga Point and west as far as Kanadaseaga. In addition to the preceding, is the correspondence and instructions of General Washington; General Sullivan's Official Reports; many valuable letters from General James Clinton; and undoubtedly many journals will be added to those already known, now that the attention of the public has been directed to the revolutionary period, and especially to the Campaign of 1779. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Typographical errors corrected in text: | | | | Page 20: possessson replaced with possession | | Page 30: Tobehannah replaced with Tobehanna | | Page 40: arival replaced with arrival | | Page 40: Susquehannah replaced with Susquehanna | | Page 55: Pensylvania replaced with Pennsylvania | | Page 70: decended replaced with de
