The action is seen through the eyes of young Jethro Mortymer. It is based on the true events of the Rebecca Riots in which the people of West Wales protested against the toll gate charges of the business men and land owners of the time. The Rebecca name refers to the leader of the campaign, which was a man dressing in women's attire to protect his identity. {{DEFAULTSORT:Hosts of Rebecca}}{{1960s-hist-novel-stub}} 6 : 1960 British novels|Anglo-Welsh novels|Novels by Alexander Cordell|Novels set in Wales|Novels set in the 1830s|Novels set in the 1840s |
