1928. Through the great undertones of history resounds the music of
galloping hoofs! Sometimes the thunderous chorus of hurrying
cavalry to turn the tide of battle-again a staccato solo from the
flying feet of a single horse and a lone rider on whom depends the
fate of a nation. Of those who rode alone this book tells thrilling
stories. They were the riders who sped, with whip and spur, to
carry a message, conquer a wilderness, brave a danger, pursue an
enemy, or escape a peril. They had the brain, nerve, sinew to do
the duty of the hour without question and without hesitation. These
are inspiring tales of courageous hearts, of men and horses who
knew no fear, from Paul Revere galloping through the night to
Concord town, to Curly, the Crow Scout, racing through the Indian
lines to carry the news of Custer's defeat. Every story is a thrill
with adventure, and a forceful lesson in heroism.
