Would you have the courage to traverse over five miles in the middle of the night crossing a rushing swollen river to save your friends from certain death? If villains held your family at gunpoint, what would you do? Would you step forward and save them? "Dicey" Langston, who lived during the Revolutionary War, was a patriot who carried messages from the Loyalists to the Patriots. By doing so, she saved many lives and helped to win the fight for freedom.
During the Revolutionary War, fifteen-year-old Dicey Langston overheard that a band of Loyalists known as the "Bloody Scouts" were going to attack the Elder Settlement at Little Eden, South Carolina at dawn. She set out on foot in the middle of the night, crossed a swollen river, nearly drowned, but made it in time to warn her brother James so that he and his men could warn the settlement. When the Bloody Scouts arrived the next day, the Elder Settlement had been evacuated.
Dicey's courage and patriotism shows each of us that one person - no matter their age - can make a difference. One person can change the world for the better and impact lives for centuries to come. Thousands honor Dicey as their grandmother and can trace their roots back to her through one of her 22 children!
This novel, based on true accounts of Dicey Langston's life, was written by her 4th Great Granddaughter, Marnie L. Pehrson Kuhns.
