Blue's march : an Overmountain men tale / Katelynn A. Hatton ; illustrated by Gabhor Utomo

Hatton, Katelynn A., (author.). Utomo, Gabhor, (illustrator.). North Carolina. Office of Archives and History, (issuing body.).

Summary:

"During the War for Independence, threats of war spread throughout America's thirteen colonies. By 1780, British Loyalists terrorized Patriots' homes throughout the Carolinas and planned to move westward over the Blue Ridge Mountains. That fall, Patriots in rural Virginia, North Carolina, and present-day Tennessee undertook a revolutionary act: they joined forces to march east over the Blue Ridge Mountains and confront the British Loyalist troops at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Called Overmountain Men, these Patriot troops were dedicated to protecting the Carolinas and preserving independence, no matter how far the journey. Blue's March: An Overmountain Men Tale, is inspired by real historical events and historical figures. Travel with Joseph and his faithful hound dog, Blue, as they enlist in the Overmountain troops and embark on their adventure. From Sycamore Shoals, Tennessee, to Kings Mountain Battleground in South Carolina, journey with Joseph, Blue, and the Overmountain Men as they battle for independence"--Page 4 of cover
