Summary: "The Tory Maid" by Herbert Baird Stimpson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War and revolves around young James Frisby, who is eager to fight for the Patriot cause. As he recounts his experiences, the narrative introduces key characters, such as Mistress Jean, the fair daughter of a suspected Tory, and Charles Gordon of the Braes, her father, who becomes embroiled in the conflict between Loyalists and Patriots. At the start of the novel, we meet James Frisby as he reflects on his youthful exploits during the early years of the war. He embarks on a journey with his friend Dick Ringgold towards the mustering grounds, where tensions between factions are palpable. Along the way, Frisby encounters Gordon and his daughter, leading to interactions filled with both flirtation and conflict. As Frisby prepares for the battles ahead, he becomes increasingly aware of the societal divisions caused by loyalty to the Crown versus the revolutionary cause. The opening chapters establish themes of duty, honor, and the complexities of love amid war, setting the stage for a gripping tale of adventure and romance.
