Redcoats and Petticoats

32 pp. | Holiday | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1416-7 $$15.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. Young Thomas rows past the Redcoats to locate a Patriot whaleboat, and his mother, Nancy Strong, signals the news (via her clothesline) to Abraham Woodhull. Although Thomas's involvement is fictionalized, Strong and Woodhull were members of the Setauket Spy Ring during the Revolutionary War. Dramatic ink-and-watercolor illustrations accompany the somewhat awkwardly written text. Historical notes are appended.
