Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Documentary History of the Campaign Upon the Niagara Frontier, Vol. 1 The documents published in this volume have been collected from many widely scattered sources. The transcripts of papers from the Canadian Archives are unquestionably of the greatest importance. These exceed a hundred, and form about a quarter of the book. Very few of these have been published in full before. The despatches printed in the London Gazette were usually mutilated by the omission of important passages, which it was considered inexpedient to publish at the time. The editor deeply regrets that he has been unable to obtain access to the archives of the War and Navy Departments of the United States. The official letters now republished from the American State Papers and the Historical Register of the United States were probably altered and abridged in the same way before publication. Messrs. A. C. Macdonnell and L. H. Irving have loaned militia order books, and considerable information has been obtained from the Kingston Garrison order book, now in the Canadian Archives. George Murray Jarvis, Esq., of Ottawa, has generously furnished copies of documents of great interest. The Tompkins´ Papers in the New York State Library have supplied a few letters of much importance. The Editor´s warmest acknowledgements are due to Miss Catharine Claus and Miss Janet Carnochan of Niagara and Miss Amy Ball of Thorold, Ont., Lieut.-Col. G. Villiers Turner of Reading, Eng., Revd. W. C Plenderleath of Exeter, Eng., Messrs. P. A. Porter and J. N. Granger of Buffalo, N. Y., J. H. Coyne of St. Thomas, Wm. Kirby of Niagara and Dr. T. Clark of St. Catharines, Ont., for the use of papers in their possession. Among the newspapers of the period which have been laid under contribution, the unique file of the Buffalo Gazette, preserved in the Buffalo Public Library, occupies the first place, but the Quebec Mercury, Montreal Gazette, the Statesman, National Advocate and Evening Post of New York, the United States Gazette and Daily American Advertiser of Philadelphia, the Whig and Niles´ Register of Baltimore, and the Ontario Repository of Canandaigua, N. Y., also deserve mention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
