About This Item
In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
When Union forces invade the Carolina Low Country, one woman stands between victory and defeat for the hard-pressed Confederate defenders - a beautiful, head-strong planter's daughter and double-agent named Sarah Edings who risks her life spying on the Yankees while setting up a school for freed slaves.
Sarah faces danger from all sides - suspicious Union soldiers, angry Rebel raiders and resentful runaway slaves - as she struggles in her cat-and-mouse game as a courier. The winding riverways and gloomy swamps provide an ideal cover for her surreptitious activities - and she even establishes a school for freed slaves to help conceal her true mission. In the process, Sarah becomes a pioneer - one of the five trail-blazing women who start such schools in the Carolina Low Country before the Freedmen's Bureau was set up in the postwar period.
