major general robert ross
after 1800 chroniclers and biographers started to write histories about the events and well-known personalities of the american revolution. many romanticized it as a "golden age" and de-emphasized its revolutionary character, especially in light of disturbing revolutionary events in france, haiti, and latin america. others sought to interview aging survivors of the revolution, even tracking down those who had fled to canada or london. three colonial participants from the attack on the "gaspee" documented their memories of that night: dr. john mawney, the doctor who tended to the lieutenant's wounds; ephraim bowen, who provided joseph bucklin with the firearm used to shoot the british lieutenant; and aaron biggs, an indentured servant who gave contemporary testimony that he was an eyewitness to the events of 9–10 june 1772. the colonial government and patriot press worked hard to discredit his deposition. biggs was retained on a british vessel for his own safety. bowen was only 19 in 1772, but later achieved the rank of colonel and went on to run a successful rum distillery in pawtuxet village. in 1839 at age 86, two years before his death, bowen attempted to recall the events of that night 67 years earlier. confident that everyone else who was involved was dead, he named as many individuals as he could remember. while mawney's and bowen's accounts contain a few errors in detail, they are the only detailed eyewitness narratives from the colonial side. they tell us that the men convened at sabin's tavern, that john brown organized a flotilla of eight boats, and that abraham whipple identified himself to the "gaspee" lookouts as the sheriff of kent county. from the "gaspee"s crew and officers there is ample testimony, but rhode island's patriots left only scanty information.
