why does every have to be mean?
I'm clearly sourcing the material. I thought you were supposed to give credit where it's due. I have a copy of the pamphlet if you want it scanned. If not, please don't vandalize the page. Sgt. bender (talk) 20:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
It's not just "sourced," it is lifted directly from their page, including the text "See sidebar" when this Wikipedia article has no sidebar. If you want to see the sidebar, go to the original:

Reputed is given in the lede but it isn't followed up. The paper "The Other Mystery Shot of the American Revolution: Did Timothy Murphy Kill British Brigadier General Simon Fraser at Saratoga?" In The Journal of Military History 74(4):1037-1045 · October 2010. does investigate it saying that Murphy isn't named until 1845. Same paper casts doubt on the distance he was shot at.
