Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While New Englanders like to think of the American Revolution as 'their' war, more battles for colonial independence were fought in South Carolina than in any other area. This nicely crafted work is a guide to 45 engagements waged in the Palmetto State. --James I. Roberston, Jr., author of Civil War Sites in Virginia: A Tour Guide and Stonewall Jackson: The Man, The Soldier, The Legend Did you know that more Revolutionary War battles took place in South Carolina than in any other state? Approximately 250 armed conflicts took place in the Palmetto State, though some historians estimate that figure to be closer to 300. South Carolina's Revolutionary War Battlefields takes you to the very spot where some of the most pivotal and exciting engagements occurred. See Hanging Rock, where a thirteen-year-old Andrew Jackson served as messenger, and the former Waxhaws settlement, where the British colonel Banastre Tarleton massacred the surrendering Patriots. Visit Camden, Cowpens, and Kings Mountain, considered three of the most decisive battles of the Revolutionary War. Each of this guide's 45 chapters focuses on a single battle, giving precise directions for driving and hiking to the site. After a description of the action, a summary lists the commanders' names and the number of fatalities and casualties on both sides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebels and King's Men documents the contributions of Bertie citizens to the war effort and chronicles their service and sacrifices. Men from the county served in significant numbers in North Carolina's Continental Line regiments and companies of the county's detached militia. Contrarily, a segment of the populace devoutly supported King George III and became entwined in a Loyalist conspiracy that sprouted in the northeastern region of North Carolina during the spring and summer of 1777. The plot, once exposed within Bertie and neighboring counties, was quickly and thoroughly crushed by Whig leaders. Rebels and King's Men portrays the overall dedication of a small rural community to freedom and democracy--the underpinnings of the American experience.
