Preface: "Little less than savage fury"
Two flags over Plymouth
Arming the Tories
Flee or fight
"To subdue the bad"
The war for Boston
Into the fourteenth colony
The farewell fleet
Beating the Southern drums
"Broadswords and King George!"
War in the loyal province
Terror on the neutral ground
"Indians must be employed"
Treason along the Chesapeake
Vengeance in the valleys
Seeking Southern friends
Despair before the dawn
Bloody days of reckoning
And they began the world anew.
