About this title

Synopsis

In 1947, Marguerite Henry published her children's classic, Misty of Chincoteague, a story about the wild horses that have lived on Assateague Island, Virginia, for centuries. In Misty, a legend is described that these mysterious animals came from a lost Spanish galleon. From shipwreck to legend, then a movie, this story lives on. Now, a new book called The Hidden Galleon takes this centuries-old legend into the realm of documented history.
