5.0 out of 5 stars
Good South Carolina Revolutionary history of a hero,
By Gene Brooks (Rocky Mount, NC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: James Williams: An American Patriot in the Carolina Backcountry (Paperback)
Because I grew up a few miles from the James Williams plantation, I have known about the Laurens County, SC, son who died at Kings Mountain. Most people, however, haven't. I didn't realize his importance until I happened upon his family's cemetery in lower Laurens County one afternoon with my father and all the stones read, "___, wife of Col. James Williams killed at Kings Mountain," "___, brother of Col James Williams killed at Kings Mountain," "____, son of Col. James Williams killed at Kings Mountain," etc. throughout the family plot.
This book reads like a published masters thesis or doctoral dissertation and brings to light one of South Carolina's Revolutionary heroes whom few know. The writer's insight into the conflict with Thomas Sumter is quite interesting.
