- Summary
- Details the Revolutionary War through battles engaged during the Southern State campaigns, particularly Georgia and to a smaller extent, the western Carolinas during 1779 to 1782. It is the story of the Georgia patriots, men defeated in their home state, how they defied the British, and moved into the western North and South Carolina to continue the fight. They took decisive riles at Fort Thicketty, Wofford's Ironworks, Musgrove's Mill, Blackstock's, and many other battles. When the two most important victories of the Revolution in the South were fought-- King's Mountain and Cowpens-- the Georgia patriots were there.
