The Wind in the Forest is a 1957 American historical romance novel by Inglis Fletcher. It is one of several works by Fletcher that is set during or just before the American Revolutionary War (which is also depicted). Fictional characters, including a female romantic interest that Inglis based upon her own great grandmother, interact with real historical figures like Edmund Fanning, William Tryon and Herman Husband.[1]

Plot
Although nominally a romance, the novel depicts the formation of the Regulator Movement in 1770, as well as the events that led up to Battle of Alamance.[2]
Reception
Richard Walser, a reviewer for the Raleigh News and Observer, described the novel as "diffuse" (focussed on too many disparate storylines) but also "lively and exciting."[3]
