Journal of an officer of the 47th Regiment of Foot, after 1783
Manuscripts
A fair copy of a journal kept by an unnamed officer of the 47th Regiment of Foot, probably of Major Acland's Grenadier Battalion, from April 19, 1775 through October of 1777. The journal covers the battles of Lexington and Concord (ff. 1-5), the siege of Boston (ff. 5- 23), and Burgoyne's invasion and the Saratoga Campaign,(ff. 23 -- 101), including the articles of surrender at Saratoga. The text comprises daily entries, copies of general orders, various returns and other regimental records, and routes from Saratoga to Cambrdige, Mass. and Charlottesville, Va. Also included are "Return of the Killed and wounded and Prisoners of the Army under the Command of His Excellency Lieutenant General Burgoyne in the course of the Campaign" (ff. 80 v. -- 87), "Return of the British Troops under the command of His Excellency Leiutenant General Burgoyne Camp at Saratoga. October 16, anno 1777," and the "Return of the Army of the United States of America Commanded by Major General Gates. Camp at Saratoga, Oct. 16, anno Domini 1777," (ff. 88-90), copies of various general orders of Burgoyne's command of issued from July 19 to June 1777, and an incomplete account of Lady Harriet Acland's ordeal, evidently taken from Burgoyne's memoirs (ff. 103-109 v.) The copy was probably created in the late 1780s or early 1790s.
