During his Journey from central Pennsylvania to southern Georgia, he must avoid and match wits with vicious highwaymen out to silence him, a raging storm at sea that puts the ship to the ultimate test, a ruthless pirate that captures him at sea, and a variety of other dangerous characters. In the end, he fearlessly winds his way through the cannon and rifle fire of Civil War battles, determined to deliver his message. He acquires a wonderful horse and makes several fascinating friends who help him along his way. A must read for young adventure lovers.
