"Buchanan makes the subject come alive like few others I have seen." -Dennis Conrad, Editor, The Nathanael Greene Papers."John Buchanan offers us a lively, accurate account of a critical period in the War of Independence in the South. Based on numerous printed primary and secondary sources, it deserves a large reading audience." -Don Higginbotham, Professor of History, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.This volume presents a portrait of the participants and events of a critical campaign during the American Revolution. More divided than any other region between patriot and Tory, the Carolinas were the scene of a two-year British campaign (1780-81) to raise the country for the crown. John Buchanan describes the backgrounds and characters of key figures such as Lord Cornwallis, Nathanael Greene, Horatio Gates, and Francis The Swamp Fox Marion, offering fresh perspectives and evaluations of their performance. He discusses the severe social and political tensions between the Low and Back Country areas that had a profound impact on the course of the war, and thoroughly explores the backwoods fights which kept the rebellion alive.
