Chapter VI: The War in the Southern Department (5)

The local authorities are Hollister's and other histories of Connecticut; Caulkins' _New London_, ch. 32; Hinman's _Hist. Collections_; L. W Champney's "Memories of New London" in _Harper's Mag._, lx. (Dec., 1879), p. 62, with views in Lossing's _Field-Book_, ii. 43, 46.

A paper by C. B. Todd on the massacre (_Mag. Amer. Hist._, vii. 161) has an account of Ledyard and his family, with views of his house in Hartford and the monument on Groton Heights (cf. Harris and Allyn, p. 179), and a list of the slain. Gov. Trumbull made a report on the losses inflicted at New London and Groton, Sept. 6, 1781, which, with affidavits respecting the conduct of the enemy, are in the State Dept. at Washington.

There are critical accounts in Dawson's _Battles_ and in Carrington's _Battles_. The latter has a plan. A map of Mass., Rhode Island, and Connecticut, showing the geographical relations, is in _Polit. Mag._, iii. 171.

A MS. "Sketch of New London and Groton, with the attacks made on Forts Trumbull and Griswold by the British troops, under the command of Brig.-Gen. Arnold, Sept. 6, 1781", is among the Faden maps (no. 98) in the library of Congress, together with a separate ink drawing of Fort Griswold (no. 99),—both of which are engraved in Harris and Allyn.
