...complete appendix contains a portion of the correspondence of Peter Warren, naval leader of the affair, whose reports must prove invaluable to the scholar, as will the complete lists of the vessels used and taken in the encounter. One of the most interesting features is a contemporary account of the expedition which appeared week by week in The New York Weekly Post-Boy, one of the few newspapers of the day. For the genealogically minded who are eager to trace the prowess of their ancestors in this greatest of colonial expeditions, the editor has most kindly included a complete index...
