Description:
Orig. pub. Philadelphia 1824. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2019. (vi), 511, xlvii pp. Henry Lee published this work in response to aspersions cast upon his father, "Light Horse" Harry Lee, by chroniclers of the American Revolution, in particular Justice William Johnson of South Carolina. Notwithstanding the son's obvious bias, the volume is a standard source for the history of the Revolution in the South. The author covers background events in the life of General Nathanael Greene, and stresses heavily the activities of Lee in South Carolina, at Guilford Court House, in overall relation to the Southern Strategy, at Augusta, at Eutaw Springs, and at John's Island. The Appendix contains correspondence between Washington, Greene, Lafayette, Lee, and others and is especially revealing as to the character of the officers involved and the concerns of some over the necessity of maintaining the public morale.

(viii), iv, 364, viii, 373-396, illus., maps Upper South Carolinians who risked their lives and fortunes in the Revolutionary War faced neighbors who had remained loyal to the Crown and hostile Cherokee Indians. The British were instrumental in stirring up the Cherokees, who occupied land now comprising Greenville, Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee counties. A major campaign against the Indians was fought by upper South Carolinians, Georgians, western North Carolinians, and Tennesseans within the framework of the Revolution. These and many other facts of the early history of the South Carolina Upcountry are detailed in this classic work on the Colonial period and Revolutionary War campaigns in the Upcountry. The book covers the Upper South Carolina governmental organization at the beginning of the Revolution and goes on to detail the battles in the region. Chapters are devoted to the battles of Cowpens,…

Orig. pub. Raleigh NC 1890. Reprinted 1973. Print on Demand Edition 2021. (ii), (iv), 242 pp. Gen. Hugh Waddell was a leading colonial and military official in North Carolina during the French and Indian War. This book, written by his great-grandson, Alfred Moore Waddell, gives much detail of his activities during the progress of the French and Indian War in the Southern colonies. While concentrating on North Carolina, there is information on his involvement in Virginia and South Carolina as well. His important role in resisting the landing of stamps during the Stamp Act crisis in 1765 is described in full. He also took part in leading troops against the Regulators but then later was critical of Governor Tryon for his harsh treatment in dealing with the rebels. Waddell died at an early age but he is still an important figure for his pre-Revolutionary activities. He was born in Lisburn, County Down, Ireland, the son of Hugh and Isabella Brown Waddell, both of Scots-Irish ancestry. He married Mary…

Orig. pub. Boston 1883. Reprinted 1965, 1966, 1969. Print on Demand Edition 2016. the set This is the "classic" work on the history of Georgia through the Revolutionary War by Charles Colcock Jones Jr., one of the most versatile and prolific historical writers of all time. He was the first native-born Georgian to write a history of his state. In his U.S. IANA, Wright Howes called this a "most scholarly history of the colonial and revolutionary period of this state." The history received accolades from fellow historians for "its style and extensive use of original sources." Volume One deals with the aboriginal and colonial times while Volume Two covers the revolutionary period. Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe, a young philanthropist who was inspired to find a refuge for "unfortunate individuals, confined for debt, of respectable connections and guilty of no crime." In granting the charter for the colony in 1732, the King was motivated by the anxiety of the Carolinians to establish a buffer to…

Print on Demand Edition 2011. xv, 17-612 pp., index + illus., maps The Battle of King's Mountain, October 7, 1780, turned the tide of the Revolution in the South, bringing to an end many months of British occupation in the Carolinas and Georgia. Draper's classic account of this important battle includes early background events, notes of the life of British commander Patrick Ferguson, other upcountry skirmishes and battles, and finally a lengthy account of the battle itself. To write this definitive history of the battle, Draper sought out and interviewed witnesses and relatives of witnesses, and collected original letters, accounts of the battle, and other primary documents. Biographical information on the leaders and officers make this a valuable book for genealogists as considerable genealogical data was gathered from the records of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Orig. pub. New York 1865. Reprinted 1973. Print on Demand Edition 2021. (ii), (XXVI), 86 pp. David Fanning was the most notorious and successful of the Loyalist partisan leaders in the Southern colonies. Born in Amelia County, Virginia, he grew up in Johnston County, North Carolina. In 1764 he and his older sister were orphaned and bound to guardians. By 1773 he had journeyed to South Carolina and settled on Raeburn's Creek where he farmed and traded with the Indians. At the beginning of the Revolution, Fanning was an officer in a local militia unit in the South Carolina upcountry. In 1775, that region leaned in favor of the Loyalists and Fanning joined that effort. When hostilities began, the South Carolina Whigs with support from North Carolina defeated the Loyalists in the "Snow Campaign" of December 1775. Shortly after, Fanning was captured and this would be the first of fourteen times he was captured over the next three years. In 1779, he was granted a conditional pardon from South Carolina…

(iv), xviii, 324 pp., map, index In his trilogy about the men who settled the Old Southwest, the author develops the thesis that these men, under the leadership of John Sevier, Isaac Shelby, and James Robertson, not only planted a civilization beyond the Alleghenies but exerted an important influence in shaping the ultimate destinies of this country. Two of these men, Sevier and Shelby, during the Revolution helped thwart the British plan to envelop and crush the Southern Colonies and then helped turn the tide of the Revolution at the Battle of King's Mountain. Acting together after the Revolution, the three men frustrated Spain's design to weaken the Union by creating a separate republic in the country between the Allegheny Mountains and the Mississippi River. Had that plan been successful, it would have kept the vast region beyond the Mississippi a Spanish province. This first volume of the trilogy, The…

Born near Savannah, she was the daugher of Russian emigrant John Lichtenstein. She married Dr. William Martin Johnston in Savannah. He was a member of one of Georgia's most prominent Loyalist families. In the early days of the Revolution, they left Georgia for British Halifax. He had fought for the King in New York and returned to Georgia with the British invasion of 1778. He and his men were involved in many of the battles of the Southern campaign and two of his brothers were killed in the war. Their father, Dr. Lewis Johnson, had been treasurer of the colony of Georgia and served on the Governor's Council. Surviving the siege of Savannah in 1779, Elizabeth Johnston spent many…

Print on Demand Edition 2019. viii, 592 pp., maps As noted in the title, this volume is a collection of traditions and reminiscences of the American Revolution in the South. Many of the histories written during this time concentrated heavily on actions around the coastal areas. Johnson covers that aspect; but almost half of the book details persons and events taking place in the upper part of South Carolina, particularly the districts of Fairfield, Chester, York, Spartanburg, Lancaster, Edgefield, Ninety-Six and Union--areas which saw some of the hardest-fought battles and skirmishes. Additionally, there is coverage of many events taking place over the borders in North Carolina and Georgia. Sketches of most of the famous men are included but there is numerous mention of other less famous men and their activities. The sieges of Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta receive coverage along with the more famous battles and many smaller skirmishes occurring througout the…
