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. |
