Description
The American Revolution was a decisive conflict, which saw the birth of a new nation.
Continental Army regulars fought in massive and famous battles from New England to Virginia, but in the South a different kind of warfare was afoot.
Local militia, sometimes stiffened by a small core of the Continental Line, played a pivotal role.
This lesser-known war ultimately decided the fate of the Revolution by thwarting the British "Southern strategy".
In this title, the authors provide a unique and personal focus on the history of their own ancestors, who fought for the South Carolina Militia, to show just how effective the irregular forces were in a complex war of raids, ambushes, and pitched battles.
The book explores the tactics, equipment, leadership and performance of the opposing Patriot and Rebel forces, shining new light on the vicious struggle in the South.
