Title: Keugh, Lieutenant William, Report of British Officer to His Majesty from Camp at Germantown, September 28, 1777; Keugh, Lieutenant William, Report of British Officer to His Majesty from Camp at German Town 28th of Septemr. 1777
Identifier(s): apsrevcity:17074
Description: The account is a report by Lieutenant William Keugh, Adjutant of His Majesty's 44th Regiment of Foot to General of the Army James Abercrombie, his commanding officer. The account describes the Philadelphia campaign of the American Revolution from the Battle of Brandywine to the Battle of Germantown, including the Paoli Massacre. Due to Keugh's position as Adjutant, or staff officer, the account includes information regarding the movements of supply trains and artillery, not just the conduct of the battle. Also mentioned are the British landings at Head of Elk, Maryland, as well as a partial list of British casualties during the campaign. Though the account is dated September 28, 1777, Keugh references in the text that it was written over a period of several days, concluding on October 7, 1777, just three days after the conclusion of the Battle of Germantown.; American Philosophical Society

Title: Journal of the operations of the American War
Identifier(s): apsrevcity:15245
Description: A first hand narrative of the early years of the American Revolution written by Thomas Sullivan, an Irish-born sergeant serving with the British 49th Regiment of Foot. In polished prose, Sullivan describes the events from his arrival in North America just prior to the Battle of Bunker Hill through his participation in the Long Island, Philadelphia, and New Jersey Campaigns. Among the engagements described are Bunker Hill, Long Island, White Plains, Brandywine, Germantown, and Red Bank, but he reports as well on events that he did not personally witness, drawing liberally upon published sources to fill out his narrative. Two pieces of correspondence detailing these "lifted" accounts are included at the end of the collection. Such events described include the battle of Lexington and Monmouth. Also included are various ledgers detailing the supply of food rations, weapon and ammunition as well as approximations of the deaths and casualties of British and American soldiers. The diary also has a section beginning on page 404 entitled "The Author makes his escape from the English, and Returns back to Philadelphia" wherein he discusses his various reasons for deserting the British army, and likewise documents the travels his wife and himself made to get to Philadelphia in June of 1788. "Seeing American under arms," he wrote, and seeing that the Americans "were striving to throw off the Yoke, under which my native country sunk for many years..." After traveling to White Plains to work as steward to Nathanael Greene, the "diary" ends abruptly with the entry for July 28, 1778.; American Philosophical Society
