The loyalists of America and their times : $b from 1620 to 1816, Vol. 1 of 2

"The Loyalists of America and Their Times: From 1620 to 1816, Vol. 1 of 2" by Egerton Ryerson is a historical work offering a detailed look at the American Revolution through the eyes of those who remained faithful to the British Crown. The book seeks to correct what the author sees as a bias in historical accounts, aiming to give voice to the experiences and struggles of the Loyalists. Ryerson intends to achieve this by using original documents and firsthand accounts to showcase the Loyalist perspective during one of the most transformative periods in American history, exploring the origins of Loyalist sentiment in early New England, contrasting the principles of loyalty and tolerance of the Pilgrim Fathers with what he characterizes as the more rigid and authoritarian nature of the Puritan Fathers, setting the stage for a reinterpretation of the events leading up to and following the American Revolution from their point of view.
