Why he, and others like him, did so, defying republican neighbours and seeming political imperatives, is a compelling and largely untold aspect of Colonial history. Once called "that villain Moody" by George Washington himself, and "the best Partizan we had," by William Franklin, the Loyalist governor of New Jersey, Moody risked his life recruiting, gathering intelligence, and freeing prisoners behind American lines. Next came dispossession and exile in London, where he strove to obtain British recognition of his losses, and wrote the objective, exciting account of his fateful choice, and the exploits that inspired this book. So Obstinately Loyal culminates in Weymouth, Nova Scotia, where, along with almost 40,000 other Loyalists, Moody had to remake a life among the Acadians and earlier Yankee settlers. His complex career encompassed ship-building, efforts to found an Anglican parish, military service as an officer in a regiment formed to defend against invasion from revolutionary France, and building on his American experience to work for constitutional reform. Moody's life was shaped by the growing pains of fledgling nationhood on both sides of the border. Yet he and people like him also helped to shape the destinies of nations. This complex weave of precarious existence and nation-building, of adaptation and "staking one's all," emerges clearly from Susan Shenstones's meticulous research and vivid writing. 606 $aAmerican loyalists$zNew Jersey$vBiography 606 $aUnited Empire loyalists$zNova Scotia$vBiography 606 $aUnited Empire Loyalists$zNouvelle-E?cosse$vBiographies 606 $aLoyalistes ame?ricains$zNew Jersey$vBiographies 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783 607 $aE?tats-Unis$xHistoire$y1775-1783 (Re?volution)$vBiographies 615 0$aAmerican loyalists 615 0$aUnited Empire loyalists 615 6$aUnited Empire Loyalists 615 6$aLoyalistes ame?ricains 676 $a971.6/02/092 676 $aB 700 $aShenstone$b Susan Burgess$01545796 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782080103321 996 $aSo obstinately loyal$93800892 997 $aUNINA
