Voices from the American Revolution in the Carolinas
Voices of the American Revolution in the Carolinas
by Ed Southern
Having visited two South Carolina Revolutionary War battle sites in September, 2012, I became intrigued with this era. I purchased this book from the National Park Service Visitor Center at King's Mountain Battlefield. It is a series of letters from patriots about the various battles.
Because it is written in 1770's English, it is at times difficult to understand, but after reading a while, one develops a "new" vocabulary of archaic words and phrases, and it becomes very interesting. No one is so dastardly as the British commanders, Banastre Tarleton and Patrick Ferguson. Any war is awful, but back then there were no anesthetics or antibiotics. You cringe with pain for our heroes as they suffer and die. You laud their victories and triumphs.
One understands the terrific sacrifices that were given, and realizes that without our patriots in South Carolina, we may very well have lost the war. I recommend this book to any history buff.
