"The year is 1776 and the black clouds of the Revolution darken the sunny Carolina landscape. Harry Latimer, a young planter, espouses the cause of the rebels, and by so doing he loses his fiancee, Mytrtle, and loses also the friendship of her choleric old father. The British governor orders Harry's arrest, but, not daring to carry this out, gives the young man a few days in which to escape. Harry, furiously jealous of his rival, a British captain, refuses to leave Charles Town even to save his life. His subsequent adventures in love and in war, set against a vivid background of the Revolution, make a spectacular and moving story.". First Edition / Third Printing. Blue Cloth.
