A Stranded American Army, a Relentless Enemy, and a Thrilling Pursuit and Escape that Changed the Outcome of the American RevolutionIn the most barren inhospitable unhealthy part of North America, opposed by the most savage, inveterate perfidious cruel Enemy, with zeal and with Bayonets only, it was resolvd to follow Greens Army, to the end of the World. So wrote British general Charles OHara about the epic confrontation between Nathanael Greene and Charles Cornwallis during the winter of 178081. Only Greenes starving, threadbare Continentals stood between Cornwallis and control of the Southand a possible end to the American rebellion. Burning their baggage train so that they could travel more quickly, the British doggedly pursued Greenes bedraggled soldiers, yet the rebels remained elusive. Daniel Morgans stunning victory at Cowpens over a superior British force set in motion the Race to the Dan, Greenes monthlong strategic retreat across the Carolinas. In constant rain and occasional snow, Greenes soldierstracking the ground with their bloody feetbound toward a secret stash of boats on the Dan River. Just before Cornwallis could close his trap, the Continentals crossed into Virginia and safety. Greenes path featured three nearmiss river escapes, the littleknown Battle of Cowans Ford, and a final chase so close that the fate of the American Southand the American effortrested on one wrong British move.With a background section on the Southern theater in 1780, and a summary outlining the lives and careers of its important officers, To the End of the World: Nathanael Greene, Charles Cornwallis, and the Race to the Dan is a carefully documented and beautifully written account of this extraordinary chapter of American history. The book not only showcases the incredible dramatics of the American Revolutions Great Escape, but also provides a compelling look at the psychological and intellectual distinctions between its two great generals, Greene and Cornwallis.
