His extensive bibliography includes many unpublished sources.
New York was the most essentially Tory of all the Colonies. There was greater wealth in New York, and a greater contrast between rich and poor. It was the last state to agree to the Declaration of Independence".."Not so in New York or Tryon where the Johnsons and Butlers had no mountain range to block the long valley westward, where their own lands were widening. British Canada, too, ran along their right hand.".
The book is printed on cream paper and shows no foxing at all.

"Britain, America, and the struggle for Independence from 1760 to the surrender at Yorktown in 1781"
"Those twenty-one years of struggle would first force upon the loyal English citizens who lived in America the unwelcome notion of independence, and then instill in them the determination to achieve it and defend it to the death. Men who asked only a reason to be loyal to their king found instead a higher loyalty to the ideals of liberty."
