Tory Insurgents: The Loyalist Perception and Other Essays

Robert McCluer Calhoon,Timothy M. Barnes,Robert Scott Davis

This is a new edition of the germinal study of Loyalism in the American Revolution. Building on the work of his 1989 book,
The Loyalist Perception and Other Essays , accomplished historian Robert M. Calhoon returns to the subject of internal strife in the American Revolution with Tory Insurgents. This volume collects revised, updated versions of eighteen groundbreaking articles, essays, and chapters published since 1965, and it also features one essay original to this volume. In a model of scholarly collaboration, coauthors Calhoon, Timothy M. Barnes, and Robert Scott Davis are joined in select pieces by Donald C. Lord, Janice Potter, and Robert M. Weir. Among the topics broached by this noted group of historians are the diverse political ideals represented in the Loyalist stance; the coherence of the Loyalist press; the loyalism of garrison towns, the Floridas, and the Western frontier; Carolina loyalism as viewed by Irish-born patriots Aedanus and Thomas Burke; and, the postwar reintegration of Loyalists as citizens of the new nation. Included as well is a chapter and epilogue from Calhoon’s seminal - but long out-of-print - 1973 study
The Loyalists in Revolutionary America, 1760-1781 . This updated collection will serve as an unrivaled point of entrance into Loyalist research for scholars and students of the American Revolution.
