Silas Dean
(1737-1789)
Boyd,
Julian “Silas Deane: Death by a Kindly Teacher of Treason,” William
and Mary Quarterly 3rd series. 16(January, 1959)1:165-187+.
See the discussion of Deane historiography in James Davidson and
Mark Lytle, After the Fact: The Art of Historical Detection.
New York: Knopf, 1982. (p. XXXI)
Clark,
George Larkin. Silas Deane, A Connecticut Leader in the American
Revolution. New York: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1913. Long a standard
work.
Cohen,
Sheldon E. “Samuel Peters Comments on the Death of Silas Deane.”
New England Quarterly 40(September, 1967).
Goldstein,
Kalam. “Silas Deane: Preparation for Rascality.” Historian
43(November, 1980):75-97.
Isham,
Charles. A Short Account of the Life and Times of Silas Deane.
American Historical Association Papers 3(1888).
James,
Coy Hilton. Silas Deane, Patriot or Traitor? East Lansing:
Michigan State University Press, 1975. A work done from primary
sources which does not reflect the historiography of Deane over
the past generation—not even Boyd's classic essay.
