Suzanne Adair’s debut novel is set in the Southern theater of operations during the American Revolution. Sophie Barton is content with her life on Georgia’s frontier, helping her father run the Alston newspaper and enjoying the attentions of the commander of the local British garrison. But her father, Will St. James, has sided with the rebels in the growing conflict with Great Britain. When he disappears, Sophie assumes the worst. When evidence indicates Will may still be alive and on his way to Florida, Sophie and a few friends take off in pursuit. And they, in turn, are pursued by suspicious redcoats intent on catching the suspected spies.

With her mother on the run, suspected of being a traitor, and with a new baby on the way, 1780 is shaping up to be a tough year for Betsy Sheridan. Things become even more dangerous for the seventeen-year-old when she discovers the father of her child has been posing as a loyalist to smuggle information to patriot spies in the Carolinas. Then Betsy learns that the man she has always thought to be her own father is not. Her real father was blacksmith Mathias Hale. He and Betsy’s mother, Sophie Barton, are reputed to be hiding with Indians in South Carolina. Betsy and her husband, Clark, travel to the Georgia frontier town of Alton to pick up the trail of her fugitive parents, only to come under the suspicions of British Lieutenant Dunstan Fairfax. Mathias and Sophie had escaped Fairfax’s clutches earlier, and now the brutal redcoat sees a way to exact a measure of revenge through Betsy and Clark. Filled with action and suspense that climaxes at the Battle of Camden, The Blacksmith’s Daughter is the second book following the exploits of Sophie Barton and her family as they are forced to choose sides in the war for American independence.

Hailed by some critics even today as the best novel of the American Revolution ever written, James Boyd’s 1925 masterpiece tells the story of a young man’s journey from the backwoods of the Albemarle to the quarterdeck of the Bonhomme Richard, in John Paul Jones’ epic fight against the H.M.S. Serapis.

From Edenton and Halifax, to New Bern and the Cape Fear, James Boyd tells the story of America’s struggle for independence as it happened along the North Carolina coast. Compelling, colorful characters, and a historical accuracy that was unheard of before this book, make it a must-have of classic Carolina literature.
