For his inventions in the hydraulic engineering field, Erskine was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He left Britain for New Jersey in 1771, where he worked for the American Iron Company, whose extensive mines were located in what is now upper Passaic County. In 1775 he organized the men in his employ and was commissioned a captain in the Bergen County militia. Soon afterward, General Washington offered him the position of geographer and surveyor-general to the Continental Army. According to the DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY, "Erskine worked zealously for the colonial cause, and his maps. were important factors in the ultimate victory." Reprinted here are the letters between Erskine and Washington. There is also an appendix that lists 129 of his maps. The DAB cites this book as a primary source for its article on Erskine. Contains chapters on: Erskine, the Inventor; Romance of the Ringwood Mines; The Iron Master in the Making; The Hudson River Obstructions and Campaigns against the Indians; and others treating the history of the American Iron Co., New York City, Bergen County militia; surveying for Washington, Washington at Pompton, N.J.; Washington at Morristown for the winter of 1779-1780, etc. From the intro: "Robert Erskine, F.R.S., the Surveyor-General of the Continental Army and the trusted friend of the Commander-in-chief, was the silent man behind the scenes, who mapped out the by-ways and back-roads over the mountains, and -- by his familiarity with the great 'middle-ground' between the Hudson Highlands and the Delaware -- provided Washington with that thorough knowledge of the topography of the country which enabled him repeatedly to out-maneuver the enemy.".
