There is a book by Stanley Weintraub: Iron Tears ... American Revolution from the British Perspective which may be of some assistance. Good luck. Interesting topic you have chosen.

I actually have been looking through some newspapers from the time, many of which are available online or in my primary text. I may not have time to visit the British Library :-( Thanks Niall, though my topic is limited to 18th century or before.. so no civil war possible.

I may not have time to visit the British Library :-(

Might also be worth your while finding out which universities (ireland and uk) have dedicated collections. If you have a uni card you can always get access. And why not give the US Embassy a call? Nothing ventured etc etc, they helped me out on a similar project back in the day. I was more a fan of the civil war period - LOADS of access to primary sources, and we used to get away with watching Gettysburg and Glory in lieu of proper lessons when I was at school...

Sounds like something I'd love to read so all the best with it! I keep an eye out and if I come across any sources I'll pass them on!
