Gavin K Watt is president of the Museum of Applied Military History, a confederation of some 450 volunteer historical animators, but he is perhaps best known as a founder and commanding officer of the recreated King's Royal Yorkers. He is the author of Burning of the Valleys: Daring Raids from Canada against the New York Frontier in the Fall of 1780 (Dundurn, 1996).
"Gavin Watt is known for his exhaustively researched and
meticulously referenced accounts of early Canadian history. He
never lets that get in the way of readability, however, and this
account of one episode during the American Revolution follows in
that tradition." - Canadian Military History Book Review
Supplement, Summer 2004
"Watt's account [is] well worth the effort. He assists the reader
with maps and a 'comparative chronology,' as well as a substantial
index. This book, 'twenty-five years in the making' according to
the author, will be a definitive account of the St Leger
expedition."
