Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loyalists of Pennsylvania Toryism or Loyalism became active among the frontiersmen of western Pennsylvania before it did in other parts of the Colony. This activity was evoked in the early seventeen seventies by Lord Dunmore's attempt to settle the boundary dispute between Virginia and Pennsylvania by taking forcible possession of Fort Pitt. Dun more's agent in effecting this enterprise was Dr. John Connolly, captain commandant of the militia in the region concerned, who with about 80 of his men seized the fort at the end of January, 1774, changed its name to Fort Dunmore, organized the surround ing district into a new county, and thus supplanted or usurped the authority of Pennsylvania on the upper Ohio. The new order of things found many supporters among the old residents of Pitts burgh, those who resisted being severely dealt with by the com mandant, while the neighboring Indians were subjected to depre dations by Connolly and his adherents. Stirred thus to acts of retaliation, the savages were not restored to a state of submission until Dunmore had conducted the militia of the frontier counties on an expedition against them, which received the sounding appel lation of Dunmore's War.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loyalists in the Revolution Could any facts show more completely the prevailing diversity of public sentiment, or the chaotic condition of affairs generally? It is a notable fact that in July, 1777, the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania instructed Col. William Henry of Lancaster Borough to disarm all those citizens of this county who had not taken the oath of allegiance to the cause of the Colonies. Col. Henry was the father of that patriotic son of Lancaster, who ran away to Boston to join Arnold's expedition against Canada and who later became Judge of our County Court.

A few select friends were admitted as intimates, and only these knew that Dr. Beaumont had a superlatively lovely and enchanting daughter. She seldom appeared in public except at church, where her face was so shaded by her hood, that its attractions were rather guessed at than discovered. Thus this fair rose-bud expanded in the soil best suited to perfect its attractions, the sheltered vale of domestic privacy, where, unconscious of its super-eminence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loyalists, Vol. 1 of 3: An Historical Novel Under the in uence of these passions, how often has one restless spirit disturbed the repose of a prosperous nation, and Spread desolation and misery over the fairest portions of the globe. Does God permit this - and is he righteous? Yes, shortsighted questioner of Omniscience, the Father of the universe is never more conspicuous in his paternal care, than when, by means of temporal afflictions, he draws our regards toward our heavenly country. - Then is death disarmed of the terrors which are planted round the bed of prosperity; then is the soul freed from that bondage of sensual de light, which impedes her spiritual exer tion. The no longer pampered body, subdued to spareness, braced by toil, elastic from exertion, and patient from habit, is not a clog, but a meet compa nion for its immortal associate. Prosperity, among many other evils, ens genders religious apathy, and luxurious selfishness. She presents a gorgeous stage, on which the puppets of vanity and petty ambition act their insignificant parts; adversity educates and exercises men.

Download or read book Before the Coming of the Loyalists Classic Reprint written by Canniff Haight and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Before the Coming of the Loyalists For 150 years this people - her own kin - had been watched over and protected. Her strong arm had defended them from the encroachments of the French on one hand, and the Indians on the other. Most of the advantages the home-land had to offer were within their reach, while they were freed from many of its drawbacks.' They had multiplied and prospered exceedingly, and until the decadence of the last century had set in, they were a contented and happy people. The period, in fact, has been characterized as the good old colonial days, about which their poets have sung, and over which their writers, even at the present time, fondly linger. John Otis, one of the ringleaders of the revolt, and perhaps the loudest mouthed of them all, in an address as moderator of a meeting in Boston, 1763, said No constitu tion of civil government had yet appeared in the world so ad mirably7 adapted to the preservation of the great purpose of liberty and knowledge as that of Great Britain. Every person in America is of common right by Act of Parliament and the laws of God entitled to all essential privileges of Britons, the true interests of Great Britain and her colonies are mutual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Service of Members of Pennsylvania Society Sons of the Revolution: 1917-1919 It is to be understood in reading this report that nearly all the officers included in it, except regulars, save a very few who could not be reached in order to find out their status, have been demobilized at the present time, and that they are members of the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution. The records of each officer and civilian, after careful scrutiny by the Committee, have been briefly selected from such information as was furnished by the members in question at the request of the Secretary of the Society. In certain of these records, however, the official data that was laid before us appeared unnecessarily voluminous, and therefore seemed to require curtailment in the judgment of those in charge of the work, which was accordingly made. In other cases the furnished information has proven altogether too fragmentary, particularly in the miscellaneous division, thus leaving in the opinion of the Committee an unsatisfactory chronicle of patriotic duty. This report is divided into three parts, viz: - 1. Army. 2. Navy and Marine Corps. 3. Miscellaneous. (Civilian.) It covers only the period from April, 1917, to December, 1919, and is submitted to the Society with the hope that it will prove a reliable and accurate record, so far as the Committee have been able to make it, of our members devotion to their country in the World War. It has been in preparation since April last and is we believe fully brought up to date. Nevertheless a report of errors or omissions, for a future edition, will be appreciated by the Committee.
