| 520 | _a"The Loyalists of America and Their Times: From 1620 to 1816, Vol. 1 of 2" by Egerton Ryerson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the Loyalist perspective during the American Revolutionary period, particularly focusing on the experiences and challenges faced by those who remained loyal to the British Crown. Through the author's examination, readers can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding loyalty and dissent during pivotal moments in American history. The opening of the work sets the stage for Ryerson's exploration of Loyalist history, emphasizing that the narrative has largely been shaped by their opponents. He argues that existing historical accounts have often misrepresented the Loyalists, thus motivating his endeavor to present their true story through original documents and firsthand accounts. Ryerson discusses the foundational differences between two classes of emigrants in early New England—the Pilgrim Fathers, characterized by loyalty and tolerance, and the Puritan Fathers, who were more authoritarian and intolerant. His aim is to correct misconceptions and provide a more balanced view of the historical events leading to and beyond the American Revolution from the Loyalist standpoint, establishing an important historical monument to their character and experiences.
