David Fanning fu un leader lealista durante la Guerra d'Indipendenza americana, la cui vita fu segnata da conflitti e drammatici rovesci di fortuna. Sebbene partecipò a numerosi scontri e persino catturò il governatore della Carolina del Nord, egli stesso fu catturato più volte, riuscendo sempre a fuggire o a ricevere un perdono. Le sue memorie, pubblicate postume, dipingono il quadro di un uomo i cui metodi e controverso lascito lo rendono una figura affascinante della storia americana.
