第67章 YORKTOWN(9)

The three campaigns--New York, Philadelphia, and the Hudson--are covered by C.F.Adams, "Studies Military and Diplomatic" (1911), which makes severe strictures on Washington's strategy; H.P.

Fonblanque's "John Burgoyne" (1876) is a defense of that leader;while Riedesel's "Letters and Journals Relating to the War of the American Revolution" (trans.W.L.Stone, 1867) and Anburey's "Travels through the Interior Parts of America" (1789) are accounts by eye-witnesses.Mereness' (editor) "Travels in the American Colonies", 1690-1783 (1916) gives the impressions of Lord Adam Gordon and others.

CHAPTERS X AND XI.

For the exploits of John Paul Jones and of the American navy, Mrs.De Koven's "The Life and Letters of John Paul Jones", 2vols.(1913), Don C.Seitz's "Paul Jones", and G.W.Allen's "ANaval History of the American Revolution", 2 vols.(1913), should be consulted.Jusserand's "With Americans of Past and Present Days" (1917) contains a chapter on 'Rochambeau and the French in America'; Johnston's "The Yorktown Campaign" (1881) is a full account; Wraxall, "Historical Memoirs of my own Time" (1815, reprinted 1904), tells of the reception of the news of Yorktown in England.

The "Encyclopaedia Britannica" has useful references to authorities for persons prominent in the Revolution and "The Dictionary of National Biography" for leaders on the British side.
