The writing is slightly boring and fell flat for me, but I appreciate the research that went into this book. Readers will enjoy it's non-fiction with fiction. As few facts of the man's life exist, as is the case with most people of this period, to reconstruct his life would mean resorting to much conjecture, so the author has opted to construct a fictionalized account, which serves to illustrate in general the struggles and hardships that Loyalists had to face. The book also illustrates what is often forgotten south of the border, that the noble principles of freedom and liberty were won through persecution and brutality.

I finished it in an afternoon, I couldn't put it down. It has a broader audience than just the Hamilton area as it is a Loyalist story for the most part. James has done an extensive job with the research of both fact and language.
He has created a glossary which will be helpful to the elementary students who should be included in the audience. I used this book in the history course in It held the student's attention and helped them to realize the trials that our forefathers endured. Elliott, through his extensive research, has added considerable information to the Robert Land story. Anyone interested in the Robert Land story or his involvement with Ralph Morden will find this book well worth the price.
It is an easy, enjoyable read. Very well written little book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. We seldom if ever read or hear about the Loyalist point of view in the American Revolution or was it also a Civil War H. Sidney Eighmey Ithaca, N.

Your book is a very vivid -- sometimes intense -- account of life during the American Revolution. I was absorbed in the story from the first to the last. The theme is multifaceted as it captures history, the bonds of friendship, and hope of a better future throughout the book. Couldn't put it down! What a great book!

I actually felt like I was there and part of the strife and trials that took place during the Revolutionary War. This story is an excellent combintation of action, drama and romance. This novel leaves one with a much deeper appreciation of the realities of war. I eagerly look forward to a sequel!
