The Frontier’s Most Dangerous Woman: The Story of Nancy Hart

from Stories of Appalachia

In 1779, on the Georgia frontier, a group of armed Loyalist soldiers forced their way into Nancy Hart’s cabin, demanding a hot meal from a helpless woman and her daughter. Instead, they found themselves face to face with one of the American Revolution’s toughest and fiercest patriots. Join us as we tell the story of Nancy Hart, whose courage, quick thinking, and tough stand against soldiers loyal to the British crown made her one of the most celebrated heroines of the southern Appalachian frontier, another one of the Stories of Appalachia.
