Horse-Shoe Robinson: A Tale of the Tory Ascendency

A vivid portrait of post‑Revolutionary America unfolds as a lone rider traverses the rugged backcountry of South Carolina. The narrator’s journey through mist‑shrouded mountains, crystal‑clear streams, and dense pine forests captures the raw beauty and isolation of the frontier. Along the way, he encounters the scattered settlements of veterans who have been granted land, revealing a community shaped by both hope and lingering war‑time tensions.

When the traveler reaches the banks of the Seneca River at day’s end, he stumbles upon a startling incident that hints at deeper conflicts brewing among the region’s loyalist and patriot factions. This early encounter sets the stage for a tale of courage, loyalty, and the precarious balance of power in a land still healing from rebellion. Listeners will be drawn into the atmospheric landscape and the quiet, determined companionship between man and horse, as the story begins its unfolding adventure.
