Roger Davis, Loyalist
by Frank Baird
About the author
Frank Baird is listed in library catalogs and public-domain archives as the author of several books, including Roger Davis, Loyalist, Rob MacNab, The Story of Fredericton, 1848-1948, and A Short History of the Presbyterian Church in the Parish of Chipman. Taken together, those titles suggest a writer deeply interested in Atlantic Canadian history, especially New Brunswick communities and the people shaped by war, settlement, and religion.
His best-known surviving work appears to be Roger Davis, Loyalist, a historical novel that follows a young Loyalist during the American Revolution. The novel's continued availability through public-domain collections has helped keep Baird's name in circulation for modern readers looking for older adventure stories with a regional historical backdrop.
Reliable biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I found, so it is safer to let the books speak for him. Even with that uncertainty, Baird stands out as an author whose fiction and nonfiction both seem rooted in preserving local memory and bringing early Canadian history to life for general readers.
