This program is about Grace and Rachel Martin, two sisters-in-law living alone in the South Carolina back country who waylaid a British Courier with valuable papers by dressing up as colonial men. They risk their lives to stop the flow of information that could have put Patriots, including their own husbands, in harms way. The drama, taped on location with historical costumes and artifacts, takes place in the cabin considered to be the oldest frontier house still standing in our state.
