"On December 8, 1775, a legend began on the barrier island of Currituck, North Carolina." Sixteen-year-old Betsy Dowdy knows that her pony, Bess, can outrun any horse. When British redcoats threaten to invade Currituck to take the islanders' ponies and supplies, Betsy and Bess go on a dangerous midnight ride to bring word to General Skinner, the only man who can defeat the British. Author's note. Full-color gouache-and-ink illustrations.
