I haven't been in the BAR since 1980, but it's still wonderful to see how well turned out our Troops are. Splendid job!

Although the title may be defunct, you are still grandly defending the kilt!

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.

Welcome to the Grand Defender ranks, Terry! Great pix, as always, but we expect nothing but the best for you!

That is so cool! I'd love to get into reenacting, but there's no way I can afford the uniform. Maybe if I find an elderly sponsor with too much money and a fondness for history....

Or win the lotto (don't I wish!)
