He served heroically under Greene and relates the events of battles with Tarleton and other British troops, largely effecting discouragement of the British faction in the Carolinas. Lee resigned his commission in 1781, assuming that the war was over, and before long turned to politics, serving as governor of Virginia from 1792 to 1795. While imprisoned in 1808-9 for debt, he wrote his memoirs, mainly to pay off creditors. He died in 1818.
