As a loyalist researcher and a reenactor in an organization that portrays the unit the book is focused on, i must state this book is by far the best on the Butler's Rangers.

The book is well written, easy to follow, and is written with much emotion. The only major drawback is the author uses quotes without listing his refrences. This has made it difficult to find the sources he uses for some of his info.

Despite this drawback, the book was obviously well researched and is the benchmark on this subject.
