Polly of the Pines: A Patriot Girl of the Carolinas (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Polly of the Pines: A Patriot Girl of the CarolinasOut over the swift running water three slender willow poles bent, on the clear current three lines floated, and on the high and grassy bank three young figures sat silent, watchful, and alert.The wind, that warm May afternoon of 1775, was sweet with the balsam breath of the wide pine forests, that in fadeless green, stretched across the Colony of North Carolina; and the Creek, flecked with the shadow of bordering tree and shrub, ran strong with the force it had gathered among the red clay hills, down to its meeting with the Cape Fear River.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
