The Golden Horseshoe is a historical fiction novel written by Stephen Bonsal. The book is set in the late 1700s during the American Revolutionary War and follows the story of a young Virginia planter named Harry Lee. Harry is determined to join the Continental Army and fight for his country's independence, but his father disapproves and wants him to stay home and manage their plantation.Despite his father's wishes, Harry joins the army and becomes a close friend of General George Washington. He is tasked with a dangerous mission to retrieve the Golden Horseshoe, a symbol of Virginia's power and prestige, from the British. Along the way, Harry falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Betsy Randolph, who is also involved in the war effort.As Harry and Betsy work together to complete their mission, they encounter many obstacles and dangers, including British spies and traitors within their own ranks. The Golden Horseshoe is a thrilling tale of love, war, and adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.1900. Extracts from the letters of Captain H.L. Herndon of the 21st U.S. Infantry, on duty in the Philippine Islands, and Lieutenant Lawrence Gill, A.D.C. to the Military Governor of Puerto Rico. With a Postscript by J. Sherman, Private, Co. D, 21st Infantry. From the Editor�������s Preface: As I read and read again the following correspondence between two inconspicuous actors in some of the stirring events that have marked the closing year, my impression that these letters constitute a document of history almost indispensable for the understanding of the new era, which began with the Treaty of Paris, grew into a settled conviction. Strong in this belief I spared no effort, and have at last been successful in overcoming the natural reluctance of those to whom the letters were addressed, to seeing words, which were written for the information and consolation of a narrow circle of family and friends, laid bare to the colder scrutiny of the greater public.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
