To list all the documentary sources from which the story of Fort McIntosh and its people evolve would serve no real purpose in a report such as this. Librarians and archivists in the historical societies of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, and Georgia, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Center for Military History, the great libraries of France and Scotland, and the Royal Library at Windsor and Kews all went, out of their way to be of assistance.
For those who do wish to learn more about the fort and its times, the following works are recommended, for the authors are professionals and in their exhaustive research each has contributed something a little different to the story:
Two fine works by Edward G. Williams, Fort Pitt and the American Revolution (Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Press, 1978), and a Revolutionary Journal and Orderly Book of General Lachlan McIntosh's Expedition, 1778 (Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine, Vol 43, March-June, Sept 1960).
Lachlan McIntosh and the Politics of Revolutionary Georgia by Harvey Jackson (University of Georgia Press, Athens, 1979).

Carlisle's Notes of the Architecture of Fort McIntosh and the Construction of a Blockhouse of the Beaver River in 1788 (Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine, Vol. 62, No. 1, January 1979), a graduate thesis of Louis Antoine-Jean-Baptiste, Le Chevalier du Cambray Digny (Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the University of Pittsburgh, 1977).
