Continuing from John Treegate's Musket, Peter Treegate's War, and Sea Captain from Salem, it is now 1780 and the inactivity in the war is threatening to squash the rebellion all together. It is up to Peter Treegate, now 21, to bring together an alliance between the feuding Scottish clans now settled in the Carolina hills. With two small, but crucial conflicts-the battles of King's Mountain and Cowpens-Treegate's Raiders swoop in to help defeat the British and breathe new life into the rebellion.
