What became of Pennsylvanians who chose the Crown over the cause of independence? These were the king's men. First published in the early twentieth century, Wilbur H. Siebert's The Loyalists of Pennsylvania stands as a foundational study of American loyalists in Pennsylvania during the upheaval of the American Revolution. Long recognised as a pioneering contribution to American loyalist studies, it recovers voices often overshadowed by patriotic narratives. Moving county by county, Siebert pieces together the stories of Tory supporters in the Revolutionary War, setting them within the wider tensions of 18th century Pennsylvania and the shifting loyalties of British empire colonial history. He examines who the loyalists were, why they held fast to British allegiance in America, how they were treated as war and revolution advanced, and what became of them in exile, reconciliation, or obscurity. As a colonial American history classic, this loyalist history reference book offers both clear narrative and carefully marshalled detail, serving readers of revolutionary war history as well as serious students engaged in American loyalist studies. It is an invaluable revolutionary war research resource for understanding the social fabric of the American Revolution in Pennsylvania, and a rich companion for homeschool early American history, local historians, and collectors of rare scholarship alike. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
