Description:The British Army turned south in 1779, expecting to sweep through the region with the help of their Tory allies, setting the stage for victory in the American in the war for independence. Upon entering the Old Spartan District in northwest South Carolina, however, they ran up against tenacious opposition from locals and their military leaders. Here, in a series of small skirmishes, the southern Patriots gained confidence and valuable combat experience that led to surprising victories at Kings Mountain and Cowpens, ultimately pushing the British back north toward surrender.

George F. Fields Jr., a leading military heritage preservationist, provides color commentary as Fields Notes throughout, capturing both the emotion and the commotion of the time. As a bonus, there s a handy guide to the Spartanburg Revolutionary War Trail, a driving tour of twelve spots in the Spartan District that were central to the American victory.
