The American strategy had been to engage and harass the enemy, and then retreat to fight another day. At King's Mountain, in 1780, the British were defeated and retreated, and in their turn became the hunted. And Benjamin Franklin's diplomacy with France provided critical support that allowed George Washington to trap Cornwallis in York Town. This book engages the reader as a witness to events of the day as they unfolded.
