    1. [SW_VA] Rev. War Updates 5/25
    2. It's me again <grin> I have added 6 files to the site dealing with the Revolutionary War in the Southern Department. They are: -Proclamation by Lord Cornwallis after "...compleat victory obtained over the Rebel forces..." at Guilford Court House. This proclamation is the one referred to by Greene in his letter to the President of Congress dated 3/30 as "rediculous [sic]" -Greene's report on the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill outside Camden, SC -A letter from Robert Stark regarding his treatment by the British while a POW -A Proclamation by Greene promising retribution for any further acts of violence against American prisoners. -Greene's report on the Battle of Eutaw Springs Note: I ran out of time at the Archives yesterday so I had to photocopy the last 5 pages, thus some areas that were too light to make out on the copies are indicated with [?] in the transcript. I should be able to get there this week and get that totally proofed. -List of killed & wounded officers at Eutaw Springs The site URL is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/ Click on the Link, Revolutionary War Reports & Letters of the Southern Department. The NEW files are so indicated. Paul Sarret has put together a good web site on this period in American history which can be found at: http://members.aol.com/esarrett/sc/arw_0idx.htm Enjoy your Memorial Day Week-end, but don't forget those who sacrificed in order that we may enjoy our Liberty! Billy P.S. As usual, feel free to forward this to anyone you feel who would be interested.
