Description: Horse-shoe Robinson is among Pendelton's most commercially successful novel. It deals with the American Revolution in the South, and is a regional piece marked by the vivid description that was notable in Swallow Barn. Horse-show Robinson concerns the daughter of a Tory who secretly marries a patriot. The story is notable for its title protagonist, a crude but resourceful blacksmith, and also for its portrayal of the Battle of King's Mountain.
