Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution

227 pp. An assessment of the American Revolution's southern campaigns focusing on the smaller-scale conflicts. Includes section of color photographs, a few black-and-white photographs and maps in text. "The determining events of the war in the South, Dr. Morrill maintains, were not the full-scale engagements between huge armies and fleets but small engagements between militia, often among neighbors... Morrill immediately puts his reader into one of these crucial small engagements with a detailed and subtle description of the clash between Loyalist and Whig forces at Moore's Creek Bridge, North Carolina."
