Label TextA novel about the American Revolution, Drums centers on rural North Carolinian Johnny Fraser. Here Johnny -- observed by fellow urchins -- is about to get the best of an elegantly dressed opponent. The book was the fifteenth that Wyeth illustrated in the Scribner Illustrated Classics, a series of rousing fictional adventure stories.
