Three Peoples, One King: Loyalists, Indians, and Slaves in the Revolutionary South, 1775-1782
"Fighting on the losing side has its costs in the pages of history, where the winners control the master narratives. Bucking this tide, Jim Piecuch rescues the lost stories of the Loyalists of the Lower South--white, black, and red--in this richly detailed and closely argued book."--Gary B. Nash, professor emeritus of history, University of California, Los Angeles"Three Peoples, One Kingis an outstanding volume that contributes significantly to scholarship on the American Revolution. In this thorough and study, Jim Piecuch pays much overdue attention to the 'outsiders'--Loyalists, blacks, and Natives Americans--in the southernmost colonies to further our understanding of the motivations and endeavors of those who cast their lot with the British during the war."--R. Don Higginbotham, Dowd Professor of history, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
