Title: Captured at Kings Mountain
Description: "In the midst of the American Revolution, New Jersey native and surgeon Dr. Uzal Johnson traveled to South Carolina with the American Volunteers, a Loyalist unit under the command of the British colonel Patrick Ferguson. Johnson's wartime journal recounts the movements of Ferguson's Corps through the rebellious Carolina colonies from March 1780 to March 1781 and gives a participant's account of the American victory at Kings Mountain ... Captured at Kings Mountain [is enhanced] with detailed maps of Johnson's route through Georgia and the Carolinas as well as an accessible introduction examining the complex textual connections between Johnson's journal and the somewhat similar record of Lieutenant Anthony Allaire. The extensive introduction and comprehensive explanatory notes add a wealth of historical context to the people, places, and events of Johnson's adventure and his Loyalist perspective on the Battle of Kings Mountain"--Jacket.
