Book Synopsis
Following the American Revolution, more than 20,000 loyalists fled to Nova Scotia, doubling the population in a single year. Neil MacKinnon provides the first detailed account of this great wave of immigrants, their exodus and settlement, their adjustment to the new land, and their effect upon its people and institutions.

Trade Review
"MacKinnon writes well: clearly, gently, without jargon or pretension. His book is therefore accessible to a wide range of readers from high school to graduate school, while also being well documented and showing all the signs of scholarship." Choice "an excellent job of condensing the results of loyalist scholarship...in relation to the early history of American loyqalist refugees in Nova Scotia." Atlantic Provinces Book Review
