Kingston and the Loyalists of the Spring Fleet of 1783 is a historical non-fiction book written by Walter Bates and originally published in 1889. The book recounts the story of the Loyalists who fled the United States after the American Revolution and sought refuge in Canada. Specifically, Bates focuses on the town of Kingston, Ontario, and the arrival of the Spring Fleet of 1783, which brought thousands of Loyalists to the area. The book describes the challenges that these Loyalists faced as they tried to establish themselves in their new home, including the difficulties of finding suitable land and dealing with the local Indigenous population. Bates also examines the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between the British and American governments and the debates over how to integrate the Loyalists into Canadian society. Overall, Kingston and the Loyalists of the Spring Fleet of 1783 provides a detailed and engaging account of an important chapter in Canadian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
