E-text prepared by Al Haines
"The King's Arrow: A Tale of the United Empire Loyalists" by H. A. Cody is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the adventures and struggles of the United Empire Loyalists who fled to Canada after the American Revolutionary War. The main storyline follows a young man named Dane Norwood and his companion, an Indigenous man named Pete, as they navigate the treacherous wilderness while facing threats from "slashers" and uncovering the challenges posed by their new settlement. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a keen and tense atmosphere with Dane and Pete attempting to evade hostile forces while traveling through the wilderness. As they make their way toward Fort Howe, they encounter cannon fire, indicative of impending conflict that unfolds amid the arrival of the Loyalists. Dane becomes a messenger, tasked with delivering vital information, and exhibits a spirit of loyalty and defiance against the dangers posed by both residents and outsiders. This opening sets the stage for action, camaraderie, and the conflict between loyalty to the King and the threats from local rebels, hinting at deeper themes of identity and resilience within the Loyalist community.
