and my personal favorite:
The Burning of the Valleys: Daring Raids from Canada against the New York Frontier in the Fall of 1780

all three are authored by Gavin K. Watt, noted Canadian historian of the Loyalist cause, and founder of the BAR's KRRNY.

Their all great, but I really like Burning of the Valleys, almost entirely a Loyalist operation with units such as the King's Yorkers, Butler's Rangers, Brant's Volunteers, the King's Rangers, and the 84th RoF, as well as elements of Jaegers, the 8th (Kings) Regt, etc were all involved. Anyhow, check them out if you can.

Yes, to all but The Flockey of which I don't have a copy yet. In fact, I just reread The Burning of the Valleys before coming up for the tour. We're visiting the Flockey today so maybe I'll find a copy somewhere.

I met Gavin several times when I was with Frey's. The man has forgotten more than I'll ever even remember about the war in the Mohawk Valley.
