BIBLIOGRAPHY

On endnotes in this volume: Any letter, diary entry, etc, given without a year, should be assumed to be of the year 1775, unless context clues suggest otherwise.

On sources: Letters are cited in the format of Author to Recipient, Place, Date, in Source. I only include Place when it provides clarity. Likewise, personal diaries and journals are cited in the format Author’s Journal (Date of Entry), in Source. However, if the letter or journal is one I cite frequently, I generally do not give its Source in the endnotes, but instead list those key letters or journals explicitly here in the Bibliography, and only here include its full Source. But even in these cases, I sometimes also specify the Source in the endnotes when it provides clarity, particularly in lengthy letters and journal entries.

On style: For all quotes of original written documents, which are the majority of those in this volume, I have retained all spelling and grammar errors and have mostly left the abbreviations and punctuation as it is in the original, except where necessary for clarity. However, I have at times slightly modified quotes first uttered as spoken words that were later recorded in letters, correcting punctuation and misspellings only in these instances, and only for clarity. In doing so, I have on very rare instances found it necessary to correct the tenses and pronoun choices of some of the words used. In these rare cases, or in any other departure from the original, I have described my changes in the related endnotes. Lastly, I have carefully transcribed all written quotations such that any punctuation included within the quotation was there in the original. (That is, “quotation,” indicates the comma was in the original, while “quotation”, indicates there was no comma in the original, usually because I ended my quote mid-sentence of the original.)

Letters (and Reports)

These are only the key letters frequently drawn upon in the endnotes, for which I have used shorthand notation, listing their source information here only. The endnotes throughout this volume cite many other letters not listed here. Note, many of the sources for these items are in other volumes listed in the sections above. See the start of this Bibliography for more details.

Battle of Bunker Hill

Regarding the source material for the Battle of Bunker Hill, there is essentially three sets of data. The first is the contemporary documents. The second are from a newspaper-based public controversy in 1818 between Henry Dearborn (who spoke ill against the memory of the deceased Israel Putnam) and supporters of Putnam. Many of these 1818 statements collected were first-person, but as they were collected forty-three years after the fact, not to mention biased, they must be used cautiously. Finally, there are statements collected by the Bunker Hill Memorial Association for the fiftieth anniversary in 1825. These are considered so unreliable, I have generally avoided them entirely. Of the other two sets of sources, I rely primarily on the contemporary material. However, as there are many gaps in the story based on contemporary evidence alone, the 1818 material, most of which appears in Dawson’s The Historical Magazine (June 1868) 2:3:402 ff., must be considered. Whenever there is a contradiction between 1818 material and contemporary, I rely on the contemporary, though if I have doubts of the contemporary, I describe my reasons in the endnotes.
