When examining the course of the American Revolution in the South,
one often finds references to the activities of Thomas Brown, a key
loyalist on the southern frontier. History, however, has relegated
Brown to the status of a dark, almost mythical figure, remembering
him most as the man who, by hanging thirteen patriots as
vindication for his treatment at the hands of the Sons of Liberty,
embodied the villainy of the king himself.
In the course of bringing Thomas Brown from the shadows of myth
into the full light of history, The King's Ranger explores not only
military history but also such aspects of the American past as
colonial migration, upheaval in the backcountry, Indian diplomacy,
the British evacuation of the southernmost colonies, and the
formation of new settlements in the Caribbean. Using Brown's career
as the thread to weave together these disparate themes, Edward
Cashin provides a lucid, panoramic view of the Revolutionary period
in the South.
