The Day It Rained Militia: Huck's Defeat and the Revolution in the South Carolina Backcountry, May-July 1780 (SC)
"...Scoggins is able to delve into detail with each skirmish and even the intermediary events. He even does so in a way that is far from tedious. Frequently drawing from and often quoting first-hand (and occasionaly) pensioner accounts lends to his narrative style. Scoggins spends much of the book methodically setting the table for Huck's Defeat. In fact, Christian Huck himself is just one of many supporting characters that fill the roles of patriots, loyalists and a a few Redcoats. Huck's Defeat is actually the focus of the extensive appendices, which include the aforementioned pensioner accounts and battlefield details.The Day It Rained Militiais a great supplement for those already familiar with the overall events of the Southern Theatre and are looking for for further depth of knowledge concerning partisan events following the fall of Charleston, South Carolina in May 1780. The appendices and lengthy notes also make this book worth adding to one's collection for future reference." --PatriotResource.com
