When the American Revolution shifted south, North Carolina became the crucible of the fight for independence. Then the war came south. In North Carolina, 1780-81, David Schenck traces in clear, vigorous prose the British invasion of the Carolinas under Lord Cornwallis and the determined American response. Concentrating on the campaigns of 1780 and 1781, he follows troop movements, command decisions and hard marches across a ravaged countryside, setting the 1780 North Carolina war and the hard-fought battles of North Carolina within the wider southern Revolutionary War theatre. For readers drawn to American Revolutionary War history, the Cornwallis southern campaign, the road to the Guilford Courthouse battle history and the broader Kings Mountain campaign history, this is both an engrossing narrative and a rigorous military history reference book, offering a remarkably complete Carolinas campaign history for study and reflection. Written by a nineteenth-century North Carolina jurist and historian deeply engaged with his state's past, Schenck's study remains essential for revolutionary war researchers, regional historians and curious general readers alike, as well as for anyone seeking a serious academic colonial history study of the conflict. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it speaks to readers who value enduring scholarship, compelling storytelling and the preservation of historical memory.
