Reviews

The Sun News "Greene, sometimes refered to by the sobriquet "The Fighting Quaker,'? is considered one of the true heroes of the American Revolution. He led the Southern Department during the Battle of Eutaw Springs, and the Patriot recapture of Charleston. Moring's book focuses on Greene's service to the Palmetto State." Island Connection News
