SmithThis book is an account of the actions of Gen. Nathanael Greene during the campaigns in SC. It added to knowledge of the general that I had gained from reading other works about the Carolinas Campaigns in the Revolution. I liked the book because it was readable. informative. and because the author did not conceal her admiration. which I share. for the service of an officer who had had no real formal military training. yet successfully thwarted British efforts to suppress the patriot forces. Ms Moring pays tribute to a patriot who risked a great deal. including his life. to serve the American cause but whose contributions have not always been fully appreciated.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
