The MACOMB (aka McCOMB) Letters 1757-1760, Albany NY

MERCHANT AND REDCOAT: THE PAPERS OF JOHN GORDON MACOMB, JULY 1757 TO JUNE 1760 (NEW YORK, BRITISH ARMY). MEANY, JOSEPH FRANCIS, JR., PHD. FORDHAM UNIVERSITY, 1990. 1821 pp. Advisor: JONES, ROBERT F.

This Doctoral Dissertation (1990) claims to be the only scholarly written history about early Albany NY life. The background to the MACOMB letters and who the people were is truly amazing. Exchange rates are quoted throughout. A very good overview of earlier Dutch colony life is well-examined.

Though most of this index covers the French and Indian wars, the preamble is a scholarly description of life and times of Albany NY leading up to the American Revolution. Some personages may have supported the King during the American Revolutionary War.

[Note from Murray McCombs, donator of the index:
This doctoral dissertation (1990) can be purchased from University of Michigan (UMI). Since the reviewer (Marshall Lloyd, a direct descendant of Catharine NAVARRE, mother to General MACOMB, War of 1812) that brought this to my attention mentioned that it was 800 pages in length, but my bound copy (in 3 volumes) runs 1700 pages, I'd strongly suggest ordering the bound copies (only a few dollars more). The loose leaf could quickly become frustrating. The cost of bound copy was $US 57.00 including postage and GST.

It appears the index is related to the 1757-60 timeframe and doesn't address all of the prodigious amount of colateral material that follows each letter. The author attempts to integrate events leading up the American Revolutionary War.
