James McMasters and Family, To Quinte & Beyond by Brian Tackaberry, UE. 

Following the American Revolution, thousands of men, women and children abandoned their homes and families in the thirteen colonies and fled to territories still under the British flag. Many of these United Empire Loyalists, including James McMasters, were granted lands in the Bay of Quinte area where they established prosperous farms and raised thriving families. James McMasters originally settled in Adolphustown then moved with his family to Sidney Township.  His descendants soon spread through the Quinte area and beyond. This is the story of some of those families and their 4000 descendants, published by General Store Publishing House in 1996.

Softcover, 226 pages, including index, documents and photos.

COST: $34.95 plus $5 shipping

UEL DVD: UNITY OF EMPIRE: LOYALIST SETTLEMENT IN CANADA

Celebrating Over 225 Years of Loyalists in Canada.
Produced by Bay of Quinte Branch UEL and Wandering Journalist Productions Media, 2009 This DVD tells the story of the Loyalist Settlements, primarily in Ontario. It runs 22 minutes and describes the background to the American Revolution, the plight of the Loyalists, and the eventual areas of settlement throughout what would become Ontario, using still images, narration, and live footage from re-enactments.

The second part of the video looks ahead to the 225th Anniversary of the arrival of the Loyalists, with footage taken at the Dominion Conference in June of 2009. There are also bonus interviews with David Smith and Peter Johnson, concerning the Loyalist Brigades and the life of the early Loyalist settlers. This DVD is an excellent promotional video for educational outreach by Loyalists for presentation to either student or adult groups, as well of being of general interest to anyone keen on Canadian History and the Loyalists.

COST $15 plus $5 shipping.
