This is a new edition of the germinal study of Loyalism in the
American Revolution. Building on the work of his 1989 book, ""The
Loyalist Perception and Other Essays"", accomplished historian
Robert M. Calhoon returns to the subject of internal strife in the
American Revolution with Tory Insurgents. This volume collects
revised, updated versions of eighteen groundbreaking articles,
essays, and chapters published since 1965, and it also features one
essay original to this volume. In a model of scholarly
collaboration, coauthors Calhoon, Timothy M. Barnes, and Robert
Scott Davis are joined in select pieces by Donald C. Lord, Janice
Potter, and Robert M. Weir. Among the topics broached by this noted
group of historians are the diverse political ideals represented in
the Loyalist stance; the coherence of the Loyalist press; the
loyalism of garrison towns, the Floridas, and the Western frontier;
Carolina loyalism as viewed by Irish-born patriots Aedanus and
Thomas Burke; and, the postwar reintegration of Loyalists as
citizens of the new nation. Included as well is a chapter and
epilogue from Calhoon's seminal - but long out-of-print - 1973
study ""The Loyalists in Revolutionary America, 1760-1781"". This
updated collection will serve as an unrivaled point of entrance
into Loyalist research for scholars and students of the American
Revolution.
