Summary "Roger Davis, Loyalist" by Frank Baird is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Roger Davis, a young boy who finds himself thrust into the tumult of the American Revolutionary War after the shocking news of his father's death. As he navigates the complexities of loyalty and betrayal amid a backdrop of violence and upheaval, the novel explores the personal toll of war on families and communities. The opening of the book introduces us to Roger and his family in Cambridge, just as the Revolutionary War begins to build momentum. We witness the devastating news of Roger's father's death in the skirmish at Lexington, which marks the beginning of the conflict for their family. As Roger's mother meets the news with quiet resolve, he grapples with the immediate uncertainty regarding their future. The narrative unfurls around personal responses to the broader socio-political upheaval, spotlighting Roger's struggle to align his personal beliefs with his loyalty to the King and the repercussions of remaining neutral in a time of intense division. The tension escalates as Roger contemplates the protection of his family while confronting the dangers posed by the revolutionists, setting the stage for his evolving identity amidst the chaos.
