When Loyalty was Treason: Elizabeth Winslow Publishing

Michelle Dunsford is an author, historical researcher, and storyteller who is passionate about making history accessible, engaging, and memorable for modern readers. She believes that history is best experienced through the voices of the people who lived it, which is why her work focuses on authentic primary-source letters, diaries, petitions, military correspondence, and personal accounts from the American Revolution.She is the author of Lost Letters of the American Revolution and Lost Recipes of the American Revolution; books designed to move beyond traditional history texts and create an immersive experience for readers. Through carefully selected letters, historical storytelling, period recipes, Revolutionary-era music accessed through QR codes, and companion educational resources, she invites readers to step directly into the eighteenth century and experience the era as those who lived it did.Michelle is particularly committed to reaching readers who may not consider themselves history enthusiasts-or even strong readers. By presenting history through short, self-contained letters and personal stories, she makes complex historical events approachable for students, reluctant readers, busy adults, book clubs, museums, DAR and SAR chapters, and educational institutions. Her companion Teacher's Editions further support educators seeking creative ways to bring the past into the classroom.For Michelle, history is not simply a collection of dates and events. It is a story of real people facing extraordinary circumstances. Her mission is to preserve those voices and help readers of all ages discover that learning history can be both educational and deeply enjoyable. Through an experiential blend of documents, food, music, and storytelling, she seeks to create meaningful connections between the past and the present-one letter at a time.
