Backcountry War: The Rise of Francis Marion, Banastre Tarleton, and Thomas Sumter

Backcountry War: The Rise of Francis Marion, Banastre Tarleton, and Thomas Sumter

Andrew Waters

Over the past several decades, the history of the American Revolution in the South has undergone a transformation to better incorporate regional events into the greater narrative of the war. Among these events was the vicious "backcountry" war from the Georgia border, across the South Carolina wilderness, to the North Carolina Piedmont between rebel Americans and loyalist and British forces. Centered in South Carolina, this running battle saw some of the most intense and continuous fighting of the war, and from its skirmishes, feints, and sieges, three key leaders emerged: American partisans Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion and Thomas "Gamecock" Sumter, and British Legion commander Banastre "Bloody Ban" Tarleton. For the first time, Backcountry War: The Rise of Francis Marion, Banastre Tarleton, and Thomas Sumter by Andrew Waters frames the history of these three men into in a single narrative, focusing on the events of 1780 in South Carolina that witnessed their collective ascendance from common soldiers to American legends. It was a time when British victories at Charleston and Camden left the Continental Army in tatters and the entire American South vulnerable to British conquest. Yet in those dark hours, Sumter, Marion, and others like them rose in the swamps and hills of the South Carolina wilderness. Fighting a wildly successful partisan war against better trained and better equipped British forces, including Tarleton's British Legion, with victories at lesser-known places like Hanging Rock and Nelson's Ferry, they gained precious months for the reorganizing Continental Army. Their collective efforts led to the stunning American victory at Cowpens and a stalemate at Guilford's Courthouse the following year that finally convinced British general Charles Cornwallis to abandon the Carolinas for Virginia. With background biographies of its three main protagonists, a thorough sketch of Great Britain's Southern Strategy, and a sociocultural examination of the South Carolina frontier in the years leading up to the American Revolution, Backcountry War offers a fresh perspective on an extraordinary chapter of American history and a compelling account of the deadly contest between three of the war's most charismatic leaders.

The upper berth: By the waters of paradise offers an exploration of the human encounter with the unknown, weaving together elements of the supernatural and psychological unease. The stories reflect on how isolation and fear can magnify the mysteries that dwell at the edge of human understanding. The collection highlights the tension between rational thought and the inexplicable, inviting readers to confront the limits of perception and the haunting power of memory. Through settings that evoke both wonder and dread, the narratives present individuals grappling with inner turmoil and forces beyond their control. The works emphasize the lingering influence of past sorrow and the fragile boundary between reality and the spectral. Each tale immerses the reader in an atmosphere where beauty and darkness intertwine, portraying the subtle erosion of certainty when confronted by the uncanny. The collection ultimately reveals how deeply hidden emotions and suppressed fears surface when shaped by loneliness, longing, and the eerie presence of the unseen.

I remember my childhood very distinctly. I do not think that the fact argues a good memory, for I have never been clever at learning words by heart, in prose or rhyme; so that I believe my remembrance of events depends much more upon the events themselves than upon my possessing any special facility for recalling them. Perhaps I am too imaginative, and the earliest impressions I received were of a kind to stimulate the imagination abnormally. A long series of little misfortunes, so connected with each other as to suggest a sort of weird fatality, so worked upon my melancholy temperament when I was a boy that, before I was of age, I sincerely believed myself to be under a curse, and not only myself, but my whole family and every individual who bore my name.

This book is an excellent tool for learning to sketch on location. Through the "no drawing first" technique, readers will learn to use only watercolour and a brush to draw in notebooks, make quick urban sketches, keep visual journals and create compelling outdoor urban work. Designed like a workshop on the go, with more than fifty progressive exercises, this book invites you to experiment with watercolour by translating space and movement through shapes and color into masses and values rather than contours and strict rules of perspective. The author, a theatrical scenic painter, urban sketcher and urban sketching teacher, shows you how to represent the world around us. She encourages the reader to observe the place, to understand it, to learn how to choose the subject when capturing the place’s soul, preserving the sense of the fleetingness of the instant described. The themes include vegetation, buildings, forms of people in movement and stop-motion.
