In this fascinating book, author Ross. D. Petty explores the lives of Titus Simons, Sr., and Titus Simons, Jr. The elder Simons' decision to fight on the side of the British during the American Revolution changed the course not only of his life but that of his entire family, which was forced to leave the nascent United States behind and forge a new beginning in what would become Canada. Once settled, the younger Simons became a merchant, landowner, and, like his father before him, a soldier, fighting on the British side in the War of 1812 against his family's onetime homeland. Titus Simons provides readers with insight into both the challenges of daily life and conflicting allegiances faced by North American men and women in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
