Summary "Sarah Dillard's Ride: A Story of the Carolinas in 1780" by James Otis is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the tumultuous period of the American Revolutionary War, focusing on Sarah Dillard, a courageous woman, and two young boys, Nathan Shelby and Evan McDowells, as they navigate the dangers posed by British troops and the internal conflict of loyalty within their community. The plot centers around the impending threat to a group of American patriots and the desperate attempts of the characters to warn them and secure their safety. At the start of the novel, Nathan and Evan are introduced as they embark on a hunting trip in North Carolina but soon find themselves captured by British soldiers led by the menacing Major Ferguson. They overhear plans that would endanger their friends who are encamped at Greene's Spring. As they plot their escape from captivity, they learn of Sarah Dillard’s perilous ride to warn her husband and his men of the approaching British forces. The opening sets a tone of urgency and bravery, showcasing the young characters' determination to fight against the odds and protect their community, even as they face personal risks and unforeseen betrayals.
