THUNDER OVER NEW ENGLAND

Benjamin Bonnell, The Loyalist & Genealogy

This is the one that started it all. Paul’s first book was originally published by Christopher Publishing, Hanover, Ma.1988, 103 pages. It had a great sales track record through the years. This new edition contains a large amount of added historical facts, genealogy and index. Chased out of New Jersey for helping the British pass counterfeit money, Benjamin Bonnell and family flee to New York City as Refugees. There, he signs up with Brig. General Benedict Arnold in his special bodyguard until, The American Legion, and they go on to destroy New London and Ft. Griswold, Connecticut in 1781. In 1783 a defeated lot, the loyalists leave NYC in the “Great Exodus” heading for Nova Scotia to start a new life in a hostile wilderness. This story would make a great movie about our forgotten Americans. Step aside “The Patriot.” Here comes “The Loyalist.” Besides a valuable story for the loyalist descendants, this book contains many names of other loyalists and some Patriots, including other Bunnell/Bonnell loyalists and their genealogy and historical facts. This book is a valuable tool to the researcher of loyalists. And let us not forget about the famous encounter with Ben’s ghost in 1985 and all the other strange events that followed, all updated and included in this new edition of 322 pages (Reprint) 2002 published by (Heritage Books) Willow Bend Books Inc., Md. $29.00 (US) plus $4 S/H plus $1.50 for each additional item.
