War closes in on Charleston. In the decisive years of South Carolina 1780-1783, battles, raids, and hard choices reshaped the Revolution on the ground. Edward McCrady charts the south carolina revolution from the british occupation charleston through the shifting front lines of the charleston and lowcountry and the backcountry, where loyalty was contested village by village. Written with the authority of a lawyer-historian and the narrative drive of a witness for the record, this is a complete military history of a theatre often reduced to footnotes in american revolution history. McCrady follows the logic of strategy and supply as closely as the human cost, bringing into focus the partisan warfare carolinas that defined the conflict: the francis marion partisan war, the pressures on civilians, and the counter-moves that shaped nathanael greene campaigns. The result is both a vivid account for revolutionary war enthusiasts and a dependable reference edition for students looking for names, places, and sequences grounded in careful nineteenth-century scholarship. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A classic history reprint with lasting value, it belongs on the shelf of anyone building a serious Carolina library, or seeking a clear-eyed view of how independence was fought for in the South.
