[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.
