Book Description
Excerpt from A Calendar of the Manuscripts of Col. John Bradstreet in the Library of the Society: Prepared From the Originals Under Direction of the Library Committee The publication of this calendar of the manuscripts of Col. John Bradstreet in the Library of this Society follows the precedent set by the issuance of a similar list in 1907 for the manuscripts of Sir William Johnson. It is a further step in the policy of describing some of the original auto graph material for the study of American history which is here available. Born in England in 1711, John Bradstreet spent the greater portion of his life in America. From 1745 when he participated in the Louisburg campaign he was active in maintaining British control in the colonies. His death in 1774 prevented the necessity of his taking sides in the struggle for American independence and left him to share with Sir William Johnson who died in the same year, the credit of a vigorous opposition to the interests of the French in America. If his judgment was not equal to his activity, his work well illustrated British policy in America during the period immediately preceding the outbreak of the American Revolution. The collection here calendared comprises six volumes of Diaries, Orderly Books etc., and one volume of over 300 letters and other detached manuscripts. Each of the former volumes may be considered a collection in itself but their character is such as to preclude their division for listing purposes and each has been given but a single entry. In the exercise of a similar discretion the less important of the detached manuscripts have been com bined when practicable and in other cases omitted, making a resultant calendar of but 206 entries. Although this method of treatment has necessitated the loss of many details the calendar remains a representative one in that it presents the essential features of the entire collection.
