The First American Army - Bruce Chadwick [182]
Many thanks to my literary agents, Elizabeth Winick and Henry Williams, of McIntosh & Otis, both history lovers, who were so enthusiastic about this book. Finally, thanks to my wife Marjorie, who helped with the research.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
All of the quotes from Dr. Lewis Beebe, Rev. Ammi Robbins, Elijah Fisher, John Greenwood, Jeremiah Greenman, Ebenezer Wild, James McMichael, and Sylvanus Seely, the central figures in the book, were from their diaries. To cite each of the hundreds of quotes from the same sources would be futile, so the single sources for each man’s quotes are listed below. The citations from the more than one hundred other people in the work are listed separately.
