About

Loudoun VA250 partners again with Birch Tree Book Store's Non-fiction Book Club, this time to discuss Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution. Kathleen DuVal, a Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, offers a significant new global perspective on the Revolutionary War with the story of the conflict as seen through the eyes of the outsiders of colonial society. She recounts an untold story as rich and significant as that of the Founding Fathers: the history of the Revolutionary Era as experienced by slaves, American Indians, women, and British loyalists living on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
