Over-Mountain Boy

As the American Revolution rages, fourteen-year-old Will Hawkins returns from school in Staunton to find his “Over-Mountain” home of Watauga, North Carolina, interspersed with traitorous Tories and raiding Indians. The rest of the North Carolinians have proved indifferent to their Over-Mountain neighbors, so Will’s people—patriots—have set up their own government, laws, and militia for protection. They know the Chickamauga Indians are dangerous, but even friendly neighbors have been found burning homes for the British cause. One day, Will discovers Michael Shae—one of the most respected and wealthy citizens—providing gun powder to Tories! Will rallies his father and neighbors, but Shae slips through their hands. Having made a dangerous enemy, Will watches for Shae as he takes part in the Over-Mountain people’s defense against Indian raids and British attacks on America’s frontier.

North Carolina, 1778-1780.
