Description: "This handbook has the goal of providing information on numerous subjects relating to New York State during the period of the American Revolution to assist genealogical and historical researchers in locating widely scattered and often hidden materials. There surely is much more that has not come to the surface in footnotes of books and articles, in online catalogs, and in Google searches, but the contents of this guide offer researchers a wealth of information arranged by subjects and geographical areas rather than only in listings of the institutions that own these resources."
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
