James Fitzpatrick: The Outlaw Turned Folk Hero

“Deserter, highwayman, legend—who was the real Sandy Flash?”

James Fitzpatrick deserted the Continental Army and became a notorious Loyalist highwayman in Pennsylvania. Known as “Sandy Flash,” he was both feared and romanticized, eventually captured and executed in 1778.

Fitzpatrick’s tale blurs the lines between villain and folk hero in Revolutionary lore.
