When the king's army captures Charleston and sweeps through the Carolina countryside in a wave of blood, fire, and debauchery, the rebel cause seems all but lost. But when Francis Marion, a lieutenant colonel in the Continental Army known as "The Swamp Fox," recruits Celia as a spy, the tides of war begin to shift. This classic historical novel captures the fervor of 18th-century Charleston, the American Revolution, and a woman who risked her life for the patriot cause. 650 0 $a Women $z South Carolina $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Charleston (S.C.) $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 0 $a War stories. 700 1 $a Donati, Sara, $d 1956- 941 $a 3 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228014207.0 952 $l MCPB423 $d 20220622163359.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151016010139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC74DD1043D711E08B8BE89D6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
