Forayers, The; Or, The Raid of the Dog Days, novel by
Simms, published in 1855. Its sequel in the Revolutionary Romances is
Eutaw.
In Carolina during 1781, Willie Sinclair, a rebel officer, loves Bertha Travis, whose weak‐willed father falls into the power of the Tory soldier Inglehardt. Willie's father is Colonel Sinclair, an ardent Tory, whose home is nevertheless raided by a band of Tory irregulars, led by rough, villainous Hell‐Fire Dick. Willie arrives, drives off the raiders, then learns of a plan to attack the Travis plantation. He hides his men in ambush and drives off Inglehardt, but old Travis and his son Henry are captured, while Bertha and her mother are saved.
