Letters of a Westchester Farmer
"Letters of a Westchester Farmer (1774-1775)" is a seminal collection of political pamphlets written by Samuel Seabury, an influential Loyalist and clergyman, during the pivotal years leading up to the American Revolutionary War. Writing under the pseudonym "A. W. Farmer," Seabury provides a compelling and articulate defense of the British Crown, arguing against the actions of the Continental Congress and the burgeoning revolutionary movement.
These letters offer a rare and significant perspective on the internal divisions within the American colonies. Through sharp prose and reasoned argumentation, Seabury addresses the economic and political consequences of non-importation agreements and the potential for civil unrest. The work is not only a historical record of the Loyalist sentiment in New York but also a masterclass in 18th-century political polemics. "Letters of a Westchester Farmer (1774-1775)" remains an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in the complexities of the American Revolution, the intellectual history of the colonial period, and the diverse voices that shaped the founding of the United States.
