Kurzbiographie
A noted authority on Ontario's history, Cruikshank was born in Bertie Township, Welland County, and educated at Upper Canada College. An ensign in the militia in 1877, he retired as a brigadier-general in 1921. Because of his interest in history he was seconded to the Public Archives of Canada in 1908, became Director of the Historical Section, General Staff, in 1918, and in 1919 was chosen first Chairman of the Historic Sites and Mouments Board of Canada. He was a member of the Royal Society of Canada and a President of the Ontario Historical Society. Among his many writings were: 'The Story of Butler's Rangers', 'James Kirby, His Life in Letters', and the edited volumes of 'The Simcoe Papers'. *text from Ontario historic plaque

Rezensionen

Although the author deals with the American Revolution (or War of Independence, depending on your viewpoint), this is an important piece of historical research every Canadian should read. The book offers remarkable insight into one significant contribution to the Canadian psyche, and a staggering realization of the endurance and tenacity of our Loyalist ancestors.
