Floyd Ireson is a historical novel written by Henry Colford Gauss and published in 1901. The book is set in the late 18th century in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and is based on the true story of Floyd Ireson, a fisherman who was accused of cowardice and treachery during the American Revolution.The novel follows the life of Floyd Ireson, a young fisherman who is known for his bravery and skill on the sea. However, when the British invade Marblehead, Floyd is accused of betraying his fellow patriots and helping the British by refusing to join in the fight. Despite his protests of innocence, Floyd is put on trial and found guilty by a jury of his peers.Floyd's story is told through the eyes of several characters, including his accusers, his defenders, and his family. The book explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the power of rumor and gossip in a small town. It also provides a vivid portrayal of life in colonial America, with detailed descriptions of the fishing industry, the town's social hierarchy, and the political tensions of the time.Overall, Floyd Ireson is a compelling historical novel that brings to life a little-known episode of the American Revolution. It is a story of injustice and redemption, of the power of community and the importance of standing up for what is right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
