Note 829 — Chapter IV · (continued 2)

It is reprinted in the Cent. Celebrations of N. Y. (1879, p. 55), where will be found other addresses and engraved views of the present aspect of the scene of the conflict (pp. 91, 127). These local associations are also traced in S. W. D. North's "Story of a Monument" in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (xii. 97,—Aug., 1884; cf. also vol. i. p. 641), giving views of the monuments, a suspicious portrait of Herkimer (p. 103), and a view of Herkimer's house (p. 111,—cf. Lossing, i. 260). On the various spellings of Herkimer's name, see Mag. of Amer. Hist., Aug., 1884, p. 283. Measures for erecting a monument to him are recorded in N. Y. Hist. Soc. Proc., 1845, p. 172. The later writers are H. R. Schoolcraft in the N. Y. Hist. Soc. Proc. (1845, p. 132); Bancroft (ix. 378); Irving's Washington (iii. ch. 15, 16, 17); Lossing's Schuyler (ii. 273), and his Field-Book (vol. i.); I. N. Arnold's Benedict Arnold (ch. 8); J. W. De Peyster in Hist. Mag. (xv. 38) and Mag. of Amer. Hist. (ii. 22); T. D. English in Harper's Monthly (xxiii. 327); H. C. Goodwin's Pioneer History of Cortland County; Benton's Herkimer County (ch. 5); Campbell's Tryon County (ch. 4); Pomroy Jones's Annals of Oneida County, with some local touches; Ketchum's Buffalo; S. W. D. North's "Historical Significance of the Battle" in the Mag. of Amer. Hist. (i. 641); the appendix of Hadden's Journal (no. 17) for La Corne St. Luc; Hull's Revolutionary Services (ch. 8); Dawson's Battles (i. ch. 21); Carrington's Battles (ch. 45). The German accounts are given in Eelking's Die Deutschen Hülfstruppen, with more prominence naturally from the Hessian participants than the English or American narratives afford; and in Frederick Kapp's Die Deutschen im Staate New York (N. Y., 1884), equally glowing for his countrymen under Herkimer, on the other side. Cf. Lowell's Hessians. The story of Hanyost Schuyler's carrying a deceitful message from Arnold, which Dr. Belknap in 1796 picked up on the spot (Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xix. 408), and as told in Dwight's Travels (iii. 183), in Benton's Herkimer County (p. 82), and other later books, is denied by Dawson (i. 247).
