Further Reading

The archaeology of the battlefield was generally unknown before the publication of Glenn Foard's work which drew upon the findings of local researchers. Accounts of the battle that predate 1995 were thus written without the benefit of such information and their accounts of deployments and movement of the forces must give way to later interpretations. Texts by many contemporary commentators or sources can be found in the appendix sections of Young or of Foard.
