This is a primary source of information for the activities of the Queen's Rangers during the American Revolution. It is not a necessarily an easy read. This journal is in the public domain and most print versions are based of the digitized version from the Library of Congress (typos and optical character recognition errors included). Also, it is written from the point of view of Lt. Col.

All that being said, this book is a great read for anyone wanting to extend their knowledge of the American Revolution. This journal provides the British view of many skirmishes and battles throughout the entirety of the war. Lt. Col. Simcoe and the Queen's Rangers were present in just about every phase of the war, Germantown, Occupation of Phildelphia, the Grand Forage of 1778 into New Jersey, the invasion of Virginia by traitor Benedict Arnold, the surrender at Yorktown.… (plus d'informations)
