Description: The British attempt to recapture the Carolinas (1780-1781) is one of the most fascinating untold stories of the American Revolution. It was a campaign of attrition fought by "back country" rebels who invented new tactics to suit the terrain of their New World. The Road to Guilford Courthouse vividly recounts this little-known yet pivotal episode, a bloody campaign that led to what could only be called a hollow British victory.
