Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Honor de Balzac (1799-1850) was one of the premiere French
novelists. This is a collection of his stories.
In the months following the May 1780 capture of Charleston, South
Carolina, by combined British and loyalist forces, British soldiers
arrested sixty-three paroled American prisoners and transported
them to the borderland town of St. Augustine, East
Florida--territory under British control since the French and
Indian War. In Patriots in Exile, James Waring McCrady and C. L.
Bragg chronicle the banishment of these elite southerners, the
hardships endured by their families, and the plight of the enslaved
men and women who accompanied them, as well as the motives of their
British captors. McCrady and Bragg thoroughly examine the exile
from the standpoint of the British who governed occupied
Charleston, the families left behind, the armies in the field, the
Continental Congress, and finally the Jacksonboro Assembly of
January and February 1782. Using primary sources and archival
materials, the authors develop biographical sketches of each exile
and illuminate important facets of the American Revolution's
southern theater. While they shared a common fate, the exiles were
a diverse lot of tradesmen, artisans, prominent civilians, and
military officers--among them three signers of the Declaration of
Independence. Although they had clear socioeconomic differences,
most were unrepentant patriots. In this first comprehensive
examination and narrative history of these patriots, McCrady and
Bragg reveal how the exiles navigated their new surroundings within
the context of a revolutionary conflict that involved various
imperial powers of the Old World--Britain, France, and Spain--and
American colonists seeking to create an independent nation.
