Summary:

In December 1780, former Quaker turned general Nathanael Greene took command of the entire Southern Department. He reported only to George Washington himself. Leadership of the southern-states-to that point in the American Revolution had failed, as the British held all major southern cities, including the important port city of Charleston. Greene faced the British in several key battles in South Carolina in 1781 and ultimately was able to rid the state of the British and free Charleston, but not until 1782, long after the victory at Yorktown. Join author and historian Leigh Moring as she tells the forgotten story of General Nathanael Greene and the liberation of the Lowcountry at the end of the American Revolution. Book jacket.

Contents:

Knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful

Ready at all times to bleed in my country's cause

Rise and fight again

A most obstinate and bloody action

We shall have the devil to pay

You know me too well to suppose I shall shrink at small difficulties.
