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 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 and the disaffected. 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.
