28 Aug 1776. Long Island. Howe’s engineers began digging a system of trenches called approach by advances that would shield the army as it approached & besieged the American position on Brooklyn Heights. At the rate they were digging, the British would be within musket shot – 1/3

I stayed off SM all day except for a few minutes & finished writing the Battle of Eutaw Springs & the immediate aftermath in my novel about Nathanael Greene. It was slow going but I used resources from multiple participants. Sept 8 is the 241st anniversary of the battle. Huzzah!

May 1775. KGIII dispatched 3 major generals to America: William Howe, Henry Clinton & John Burgoyne. They sailed into Boston Harbor on the man-of-war Cerberus. Ironically, Cerberus was the name of the three-headed dog of Greek and Roman mythology said to guard the gates of Hell.

2/2 - [vigorously],” Greene told Lee. Lee did exactly that. He forced the fort’s surrender & agreed with the commander’s request to allow them to keep their plunder. Sumter was enraged. He wanted the glory of taking the fort & planned to distribute the plunder to his own men.

What is everyone reading this weekend? I'm reading about this guy. Williams deserves more attention. He fought, commanded troops, suffered as a prisoner of war, served as temp adjutant general for George Washington, as well as, Nathanael Greene during the Southern Campaign.

12 May 1780. General Benjamin Lincoln surrenders Charleston, SC to Sir Henry Clinton. Clinton denied Lincoln the honors of war, an act that Colonel John Laurens who was with Lincoln never forgot & repaid in the terms of surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, VA Oct 19, 1781.

May 6–12, 1781. As part of the “war of posts” to destroy British outposts in SC Harry Lee & Francis Marion laid siege to British held Ft Motte on the Santee; a plantation house owned by Rebecca Motte. They demanded commander Col Donald McPherson surrender. McPherson held out –1/2

@Books2Cover This guy is one of those men who fought and commanded troops and suffered as a prisoner during the American Revolution who deserves more attention.

My new read. I can't write about the Southern Campaign without knowing this guy & his contributions to the American Revolution in general. He was part of the conflict the entire war & even onetime adjutant general to GW. @milhistbuff3 @Russmoore713

Banastre Tarleton lost two fingers from a musket ball received in his right hand during the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on 15 Mar 1781. Henry Knox accidently shot off two fingers on his left hand on 24 Jul 1773 age 23. Neither man is hiding his wounded hand in their paintings.
