The Spark

http://www.msc.edu.ph/centennial/filam1.html

Scroll near the middle (or search for "grayson") for the eyewitness account of Priv. William Grayson of that fateful night of 4 Feb 1899.


Gregorio del Pilar

http://tornandfrayed.typepad.com/tornandfrayed/2006/09/death_of_gregor.html
This page contains the (short) full text of the famous entry in Gen. Gregorio del Pilar's diary. Scroll to the middle to find Richard Henry Little's tribute to del Pilar. Nearer the bottom of the page (in the comments section) you can see a quote from Adjutant Telesoforo Carrasco's eyewitness account of what happened after del Pilar's death.

Search for "Richard Henry Little" to find the full text of the account of the discovery of the body of Gen. Gregorio del Pilar. This is slightly different from what is quoted in Torn and Frayed above. If you cannot access the main site, use the Internet Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20020104123637/www.bakbakan.com/junglep/jp-1.html
