DANGER ON THE JERSEY SHORE

by Kensil Bell ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 17, 1959

Fifteen-year-old Jeff Lundy, a Jersey rebel, becomes in 1778 part of the vital little army of patriots who offer their lives to prevent supplies from reaching the Tory army. Serving as a Scout and express rider for Colonel Shreve, he and his horse respond to the desperate need of cutting off the Delaware as a possible food supply for the British who, shut out from Philadelphia by a blockade, eagerly seek other sources. Basing this on contemporary dispatches, Kensil Bell, author of other historical novels, integrates his likeable fictional hero into a revealing framework of an obscure but significant chapter of the American Revolution.
