The Ride of Molly Tynes: A Tale Passed Down

$2.99 - $14.95

written by Mary Alice Barksdale and Donna Jessie Fogelsong

illustrated Emily Hurst Pritchett


When Molly Tynes learns of an impending attack on a neighboring town, she mounts her horse without hesitation, risking life and limb to warn and protect her community. Four mountains, rough trails, and wild animals stand between Molly and her journey’s end. Through this legendary tale of a courageous Civil War-era woman, the storytelling tradition of Southwest Virginia lives on.


PRAISE FOR THE RIDE OF MOLLY TYNES:

“The Ride of Molly Tynes is a tale well remembered and very well told. . . . Molly’s story will inspire parents and children alike to be their very best selves and to face hard times with bravery and confidence.”

   — Susan Weiner, author of Pirates and Spooks, Beware! and Before the Foundation of the World


“I wish my grandma could have had stories like this to tell me when I was a child—the story of one young woman’s selflessness, daring, and bravery. Molly Tynes is an inspiration not only for young girls but for us all.”

   — Ted Lewin, author and illustrator of more than 170 books for children
