On the eve of rebellion in the colonies, one man chose the King over his neighbours. His loyalty would cost everything. Lieutenant-Colonel John Connolly, a British officer in America and outspoken American loyalist, recounts his arrest, harsh confinement and American loyalist imprisonment in this stark American Revolution memoir. Framed as a loyalist captivity narrative, his story moves from frontier intrigue to years of close custody, as he details what he saw as unjust treatment by Congress and the precarious politics of the Revolutionary War United States. A vivid primary source history book, it opens rare loyalist perspectives American Revolution readers seldom encounter, revealing fear, resentment and divided allegiance in 18th century American history and colonial America military history. At once personal testimony and political argument, it is invaluable for American history students and for Revolutionary War researchers seeking first-hand evidence from the other side of the conflict. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for todays and future generations. More than a reprint - a collectors item and a cultural treasure. This careful modern edition preserves Connollys voice for anyone drawn to original documents, classic-literature collections, or the tangled loyalties of the American past.
