In a small Vermont village not far from the Canadian border, one of the least known, but certainly one of the most daring engagements of the War Between the States took place on the afternoon of October 19, 1864.  Under the leadership of imaginative Lt. Bennett Young, twenty-one soldiers of the Confederate Army stormed the little town of St. Albans, robbing its banks and creating panic among its peaceful citizenry.

Rebel Raiders is the thrilling story of this amazing battle, as it is seen through the eyes of teen-age Davie Hunter, youngest member of the raiding party.  From the day of its initial conception in the minds of Confederate leaders, to the exciting raid itself and the ensuing fight for the freedom of its protagonists in the law courts of Canada, Major Ashley weaves an absorbing tale of tense excitement and daring adventure.
