内容简介 From the vast prairies of America where pioneers first settled to the battlegrounds of civil war, the "Saddle the Wind" series will sweep readers back through history on an unforgettable journey. They will meet very special heroines from different times and cultures, with two things in common: a great love of horses, and a unique brand of courage. This work is set in Pennsylvania, 1774...On the brink of the American War of Independence, a young girl and her faithful Conestoga horse, Clipper, are caught up in rebel activities as her twin brother joins local farmers in armed resitance against the imposition of burdensome new taxes by their British governors and national resentment of British rule boils over into revolution.
作者简介 Deborah Kent's first young adult novel, Belonging, was published in 1978 by Dial. Since then, she has written 18 young adult novels and over 50 children's non-fiction titles, mainly on topics of American history. Educated at Oberlin College and Smith College, Deborah was a social worker for several years before moving to Mexico and becoming a writer. Today she lives in Chicago with her daughter and husband, the children's author R. Conrad Stein.
