Note 1354 — Chapter VIII · (continued 2)

Various books may be cited for minor characterizations of Johnson: Mrs. Grant’s Memoirs of an American Lady; J. R. Simms’ Trappers of New York, or a biography of Nicholas Stoner and Nathaniel Foster, and some account of Sir William Johnson and his style of living (Albany, 1871, with the same author’s Schoharie County, ch. iv.), called Frontiersmen of New York in the second edition,—works of little literary skill; Ketchum’s Buffalo (1864). Parkman’s first sketch was in his Pontiac (i. p. 90). Mr. Stone has also a paper in Potter’s Amer. Monthly, Jan., 1875. Cf. Lippincott’s Mag., June, 1879, and Poole’s Index, p. 694. His character in fiction is referred to in Stone’s Johnson, i. p. 57.
