be pieced together from the accounts by Thomas
Mathews, the King's commissioners, Mrs. Cotton, and others. By
the aid of an old pen-and-ink diagram of the Susquehannock
fort, I have been able to locate the site, and Mrs. Alice L.L.
Ferguson to uncover parts of it.
The "Dialogue between John Goode and Nathaniel Bacon," which
is in the British Public Record Office, throws light on
Bacon's plans to draw North Carolina and Maryland into his
rebellion, and to resist the redcoats. Important also are the
"Declaration of Thomas Swan and others on August 3, 1676",
(GO1-37-42); Philip Ludwell's letters to Lady Berkeley and to
Thomas Ludwell, and others (Bath Papers); the "Declaration of
the People" (Bath Papers); "Grantham's Account" (Bath Papers);
Berkeley's account of the rebellion written on board Sir John
Berry's ship, February 2, 1677 (Bath Papers).
Among the secondary sources are Mary Newton Stanard, _The
Story of Bacon's Rebellion_; Thomas J. Wertenbaker, _Virginia
Under the Stuarts_; and _Torchbearer of the Revolution_;
Philip Alexander Bruce, _The Economic History of Virginia in
the Seventeenth Century_, and _The Institutional History of
Virginia in the Seventeenth Century_; Wesley Frank Craven,
_The Southern Colonies in the Seventeenth Century_; John
Fiske, _Old Virginia and her Neighbors_; John Burk, _History
of Virginia_; Herbert L. Osgood, _The American Colonies in the
Seventeenth Century_.
_The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography_, the _William
and Mary Quarterly_, 1st and 2d Series, and _Tyler's Magazine_
have printed much material relating to the rebellion, and Dr.
E.G. Swem's splendid index covering these volumes has greatly
increased their value.
