Book excerpt: A fictionalized version of an event which actually occurred in Philadelphia as the British army was about to seize the city in the fall of 1777. Approximately 20 prominent citizens (mostly Quakers) who, for religious reasons, refused to support either side, were arrested on the presumption that "if you're not for us, you're against us." After a month in which they were imprisoned at Philadelphia's Masonic Hall, they were exiled for five months to Winchester, VA where two died. The author has added a fictional character to the group -- a 24-year-old Quaker, Caleb Middleton, who, ironically, had longed to enlist in the Continental Army, but did not in deference to his father's religious feelings.

Download or read book Liberty s Exiles written by Maya Jasanoff and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER This groundbreaking book offers the first global history of the loyalist exodus to Canada, the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, India, and beyond. At the end of the American Revolution, sixty thousand Americans loyal to the British cause fled the United States and became refugees throughout the British Empire. Liberty’s Exiles tells their story. This surprising new account of the founding of the United States and the shaping of the post-revolutionary world traces extraordinary journeys like the one of Elizabeth Johnston, a young mother from Georgia, who led her growing family to Britain, Jamaica, and Canada, questing for a home; black loyalists such as David George, who escaped from slavery in Virginia and went on to found Baptist congregations in Nova Scotia and Sierra Leone; and Mohawk Indian leader Joseph Brant, who tried to find autonomy for his people in Ontario. Ambitious, original, and personality-filled, this book is at once an intimate narrative history and a provocative analysis that changes how we see the revolution’s “losers” and their legacies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paul and Virginia, And, Elizabeth, or the Exiles of Siberia, a Tale, Founded on Facts Turning from the spot whence this varied land scape may be seen, and entering the valley, the ear is struck with the echoes of the mountains incessantly repeating the hollow murmurs of the winds, which agitate the trees in the surrounding forests, and the dashing of the impetuous waves upon the neighbouring cliffs. But the scene is far different near the mined cottages; there all is calm and serene, and the only objects which arrest the attention, are the steep and almost perpendicular rocks which surround and defend the valley. At their base grow clumps of trees, and vegetation ap ears in Its greatest luxuriance on their rifled si es, and even on their cloud capped tops, Their summits are frequently covered by the vivid colors of the rainbow, produced by the frequent showers which they attract, and by which the small river of fan-palms is swelled and fed. Within this humble valley all is calm, silent, and peaceful. Echo itself is here nearly hushed, and scarcely repeats the sounds of the waving palms which grow upon the heights. Even the light of day appears to have acquired a new softness; the sunbeams, which shine only at noon into this deep recess, seem divested of their scorching powers. But at break of day, the sharp peaks of the sur rounding rocks, contrasted with the shadows of the mountain, seem like tints of gold and purple upon the sky. I delighted in resorting to this scene, where, while I enjoyed the calm of retirement and solitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
