The Revolutionary War is raging. Food and firewood are scarce, and Tempe Wick is worried that she will not be able to care for her ailing mother and her family and still maintain their farm in New Jersey, where troops are now camped. Her ability to hold on to her world is further threatened when a mutinous soldier demands that she lend him her beloved horse, Colonel, in exchange for keeping her brotherâs rum-smuggling activities secret from the authorities. This dramatic historical novel is based on a real event that has been popularized into American legend.
âCrammed with authentic detail.â âKirkus Reviews
