Book Review: The History and Master Roll of the King’s Royal Regiment of New York. Revised edition.
Posted 14 February 2008
Reviewed by: Cornelia W. Bush, CG, National Genealogical Society Quarterly (Dec 2007 issue)
This book will interest researchers of Loyalists in New York and those tracing English-American, English-Canadian, Scottish-American, Scottish-Canadian, Dutch-American, and Native-American
heritage. This detailed history of the Revolutionary War era in New York is written by a Brigadier General with considerable insight into period military matters.
In the original 1931 edition, Brigadier General Cruikshank describes the tragic consequences of the British high command’s attempts to control military actions from abroad. Correspondence brings the period to life and personalizes the hardships of colonists and their families. The predicament
of the British colonists is poignantly clear. After the war, many colonists sought relief and their losses were documented.
Watt’s painstaking index adds a useful surname concordance identifying the service of thousands of individuals in Cruikshank’s “Master Roll.” The book provides surname, given name, birth and death dates, enlistment date, battalion, highest rank held, details of service, domicile, trade, where
settled, and with what family.
Watt has created an essential book for researchers studying the identity, whereabouts, and fate of Loyalists actively engaged in the Revolutionary War in New York.
