Gents - I was "rummaging" on Google yesterday and tried typing in Rev John Dodderidge - well, to my total surprise up came a link to a site with digitized versions of quite a few early, first person, narratives of the 176-=1800 time period, and beyond. There I found the entire text of the Dodderidge work that is free for the reading. While I am not a fan of reading long texts on a computer screen, the availability of this (and man others) resource is just great. So, Google in an author's name you seek and you may be very pleasantly surprised. Worth a look, especially if you are not able to get to the archive that actually holds the document.

Found a pretty good list of sources. I may have gotten it off a listing on here, but couldn't find it on here. For the most part its Revolutionary War. Its http://livinghistoryresources.webs.com/. Its got alot of primary documents listed.
