BOOK - If Ponies Rode Men, The Journeys of Robert Land 1777-1791
By James Elliott
George Washington saved his neck, Joseph Brant watched his back -- The view from the other side in the American Revolution.
If Ponies Rode Men is the harrowing true story of Loyalist Robert Land set against the blood and smoke of America's first civil war. It chronicles the real-life adventures and adversities of Land as a British spy, backwoods recruiter and comrade-in-arms to the legendary Mohawk war chief, Joseph Brant. Burned out of his Pennsylvania homestead and sentenced to death for treason, he was spared the gallows by a judicious George Washington.
One son was hanged by Patriots, one son died in the squalor of wartime New York City and one son fought alongside American turncoat Benedict Arnold.
And behind the whole family stood Land's wife, the courageous Phoebe who kept her family together through all the dark days of privation and heartbreak. At the end of the war the family was reunited and became the founding first family of the city of Hamilton, Ontario.
Drawing on extensive research of the historical record and sound understanding of the times, author and historian James Elliott has taken a Hamilton legend and rendered it believably whole in a work of imagination and scholarship that has been praised by novelists and historians alike.
If Ponies Rode Men is a story of war and refuge, the view from the other side in the American Revolution where loyalty to the King exacted a steep price in blood, cost thousands their birthright as citizens and spawned the beginning of a new northern nation.
