Roger Davis Loyalist  (Paperback, Frank Baird)

The story follows the life of Roger Davis, a young man who finds himself caught in the tumultuous period of the American Revolution. Unlike many of his contemporaries who support the Patriot cause for independence, Roger remains steadfast in his loyalty to the British. This allegiance places him in direct conflict with his neighbors, friends, and even family members, as the nation is divided by war. Baird's novel explores the often-overlooked experiences of Loyalists, highlighting the challenges they faced, including persecution, displacement, and the moral dilemmas of their position. The narrative provides a nuanced view of the war, illustrating that the fight for independence was not a unanimous endeavor and that many colonists had complex reasons for their loyalties.
