It is a critical analysis of two documents, namely ""A Narrative of the Expedition to the Rivers Ohio and Mississippi"" and ""The Journal of Colonel George Morgan"", which were published in the fifth and sixth volumes of ""The History of the United States for the Year 1776"".

He argues that these documents provide valuable insights into the motives and actions of the British and American forces during the war.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a detailed analysis of ""A Narrative of the Expedition to the Rivers Ohio and Mississippi"", which was written by William Linn, a chaplain in the Continental Army.

Hamilton examines Morgan's account of the war and argues that it provides valuable insights into the British strategy and tactics. He also critiques Morgan's portrayal of the American forces as disorganized and poorly trained.Overall, Observations On Certain Documents Contained In No. V And VI Of The History Of The United States For The Year 1776 (1797) is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the events of the American Revolution.
