Publisher Description: No Borrowed Glory is an action-filled story of a thirteen year old boy who struggles to find his role in the American Revolution. This story takes place in July 1781, when British General Lord Cornwallis and his army march through Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Nathaniel helps the wife of the Clerk of Court pack important county records and the Vestry Books of the Old Brick Church in a small hair trunk. He then hides under canvas on the wagon to see where she is going with the records. Enemy soldiers stop the wagon and discover Nathaniel. He convinces the soldiers not to look in the truck. They come across a severely wounded American soldier who tells them the militia has been defeated at South Quay and the Commanding Officer, Colonel Josiah Parker who may be wounded, is missing. When Nathaniel hears the enemy soldiers talking about Parker, he decides he must find and save Colonel Parker. Nathaniel's physical strength, his mental toughness and his devotion to Parker will be tested. Can he find Parker and save the Colonel or will he be killed after being discovered by a British spy? |
