Title Peopling the Past: MEET WILLIAM HUNTER
Issue Volume 36, Number 03 (CWJ, Summer 2014)
Description Williamsburg printer William Hunter debates in 1779 that the American cause for independence was unwise and its defeat inevitable but fears family contradictions and risk of tarring and feathering as a Loyalist. In 1781 he joined the British army, served in it at the Battle of Yorktown, and later emigrated to England.
