King's Rangers Address

Title: King's Rangers Address
Description: Proclamation by members of the King's Rangers, a British colonial military unit, promoting Nova Scotia as a destination for Loyalists who planned on leaving New York. The text ran weekly in the Royal Gazette for the first few months of 1783. While Patriot news sources disparaged Canadian provinces as a destination for Loyalists, and mocked those who decided to flee the American colonies, efforts like this promoted the region.
