The drawn plan in _Hadden's Journal_ (p. 83) speaks of the lines protecting Fort Independence on the land side as being made "of logs thrown up but not completed", from which a "path for cattle" led to Hubbardton. Mount Defiance is called "Sugar Loaf Hill." The English are represented as landing at the point marked "Camp", and the Germans on the opposite shore. Gen. Phillips took the position on Mount Hope. Lossing (_Field-Book_, i. 131) gives a view from the top of Mount Defiance. A description of the fortifications about Ticonderoga, from Riedesel's _Memoirs_, is in Stone's _Campaign of Burgoyne_ (p. 434).] The position of the ground as shown by Fleury can be compared with that of a _Topographical map of the country between the Mohawk River and Wood Creek, from an actual survey taken in Nov., 1758_, which is engraved from the original MS. (in the N. Y. State library) in the _Doc. Hist. N. Y._ (quarto ed. iv. p. 324), where will also be found (p. 327) a detailed plan of Fort Stanwix, as erected in 1758 (see Vol. V., p. 528).[832] * * * * * Respecting the action (Aug. 16th) at Bennington, General Lincoln sent the first accounts to Schuyler, who transmitted them to Washington (Sparks's _Corresp. of the Rev._, i. 425). Stark's letter to Gates, of Aug. 22d, is in Wilkinson's _Memoirs_ (p. 209); _Vermont Hist. Coll._ (i. 206); Dawson's _Battles_ (i. 260). His letter of the same day to the Council of New Hampshire is in the _N. H. State Papers_, viii. 670. The papers of Stark were used by Sparks in copies in the _Sparks MSS._ (no. xxxix.).[833] There is in the Gates Papers (copies in _Sparks MSS._, xx.) an "account of the enemy's loss in the late action of the 16th Aug., 1777, near Bennington",—amounting to 991 killed, wounded, and prisoners; Hessians, Canadians, and Tories. American loss, killed, between twenty and thirty; wounded, not known.[834] Burgoyne's original instructions to Baum are in the cabinet of the Mass. Hist. Soc.,[835] and are printed in their _Collections_ (vol. ii.).[836] Letters of Baum and Burgoyne, Riedesel's report to the Duke of Brunswick, Breymann's report[837] to Burgoyne, and Burgoyne's reports to Germain, are in the _Documents in relation to the part taken by Vermont in resisting the invasion of Burgoyne_ (_Vt. Hist. Soc. Coll._, vol. i. pp. 198, 223, 225); Dawson's _Battles_ (i. 261-264); Eelking's _Riedesel_ (iii. 184, 210, 261). A long account by Glick, a German officer, is also in the _Vt. Hist. Coll._ (i. 211). On the jealousy of the British and Hessians, see a letter by Hagan in the _N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg._ (1864, p. 33).[838] An account "by a gentleman who was present" is copied from the _Penna. Evening Post_, Sept. 4th, in Moore's _Diary of the Rev._ (p. 479). A narrative by the Rev. Mr. Allen in the _Connecticut Courant_, Aug. 25th, is copied in Smith's _Pittsfield, Mass._[839] [Illustration: FORT STANWIX OR SCHUYLER.
