David Fanning

    March 5, 1955

    David Fanning was a Loyalist leader during the American Revolutionary War, whose life was marked by conflict and dramatic reversals. Although he participated in numerous skirmishes and even captured the governor of North Carolina, he himself was captured multiple times, always escaping or receiving a pardon. His memoirs, published posthumously, paint a picture of a man whose methods and controversial legacy make him a fascinating figure in American history.
