The Quaker Partisans: A Story Of The Revolution is a historical novel written by Edward Hand Williamson in 1869. The story is set during the American Revolution and follows a group of Quaker partisans who become involved in the conflict despite their pacifist beliefs. The novel explores the tensions between the Quaker community and the revolutionary cause, as well as the personal struggles of the characters as they navigate their own convictions and the demands of war. The main character, John Drinker, is a Quaker who is torn between his loyalty to his pacifist beliefs and his desire to fight for the cause of independence. As the story unfolds, he becomes increasingly involved in the war effort, leading a group of partisans in a series of daring raids against the British. Along the way, he grapples with the moral implications of his actions and the toll that war takes on both himself and his fellow Quakers. The Quaker Partisans is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the American Revolution and the role of Quakers in the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
