True to the Old Flag: A Tale of the American War of Independence

Set against the restless backdrop of 1774 Massachusetts, the story opens with a family on the brink of change. A Loyalist husband—once a soldier in the king’s army—prepares to leave his frontier farm with his wife and young son, while the colony’s growing talk of rebellion seeps into every conversation. Through their letters and the vivid depiction of daily life, the narrative captures the uneasy balance between duty to the Crown and the pull of a land on the verge of upheaval.

The author weaves contemporary accounts and military dispatches into a personal chronicle, aiming to reveal the courage and hardships of British troops often eclipsed in later histories. As loyalties clash and frontier tensions rise, readers glimpse the human side of a conflict usually told from the opposite perspective, offering a nuanced portrait of honor, sacrifice, and the uncertain promise of a new western frontier.
