The Boy Spies with the Regulators / The Story of How the Boys Assisted the Carolina Patriots to Drive the British from That State

Two sixteen-year-old cousins join a local band of Regulators in pre-Revolutionary North Carolina, serving as scouts and participants in actions against corrupt officials. The narrative follows their involvement in attempts to rescue imprisoned comrades, confrontations with royal representatives, camp life, council meetings, skirmishes, a siege, arrests and trial, and an ultimately armed clash that escalates local resistance. Interwoven are details of rural life, moral choices, and the responsibilities of young volunteers, presenting an episodic account of grassroots protest, communal organization, and the tensions that led toward broader conflict.
