Reseña del editor

This novel deals with the 1780 Battle of Camden and its aftermath, especially the guerilla warfare tactics employed by "The Swamp Fox," General Francis Marion, and other partisan commanders as they harassed and frustrated the British military after the crushing defeat of the Patriots' regular forces at Camden.

Biografía del autor

William Gilmore Simms (April 17, 1806 - June 11, 1870) was a poet, novelist and historian from the American South. His writings achieved great prominence during the 19th century, with Edgar Allan Poe pronouncing him the best novelist America had ever produced. He is still known among literary scholars as a major force in antebellum Southern literature. He is also remembered for his strong support of slavery and for his opposition to Uncle Tom's Cabin, in response to which he wrote reviews and a novel. Former head of the South Carolina Historical Society, the Southern Historical Collection, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, David Moltke-Hansen served as the founding director of the digital William Gilmore Simms Initiatives of the University of South Carolina, USA.
