review 1: This book was very informative and I learned a lot from it. It was not easy to get through even though the writing style was not really dense. It's just that the author was so comprehensive in her study of the post-American Revolution plight of the loyalist refugees from America that it takes quite a while to read to assimilate it all. An excellent book but for people who are very desirous of learning a lot about this issue or serious students of history.
review 2: I found this book an interesting read. You never really think about what happened to the Loyalists and it is a story that makes them sympathetic people caught in events that they could not control, trying to make the most of their lives. How the British Empire reacted and changed when dealing with
... more the Loyalist refugees is interesting as we'll and something that is never really touched on in most history classes. less

A really interesting topic, but because of the writing bogs down in the middle of book.

Most extensive, well-written and detailed survey of the loyalist diaspora I have read!

No one reports on them. Did not finish book. I had to return it to the library.
