Note 745 — Chapter IV · (continued 2)

For this period see 4 Force, vol. v.; Heath's Memoirs; Sparks's Gouverneur Morris (i. ch. 5); lives of Putnam; Almon's Remembrancer; histories of New York, city and province. There is much of detail with references in Dawson's Westchester County, during the American Revolution (Morrisania, 1886), p. 159, etc., particularly as respects the political influence of the provincial congress and the treatment of suspected persons. This book, for the period covered by it, is one of the thoroughest pieces of work respecting the history of the Revolution; but it is unfortunately marred by a captious and carping spirit, so characteristic of Dawson's historical work. This monograph is a separate issue of a portion of a History of Westchester County, by several hands.
