Scholar's Bookshelf 2005 reprint edition. Universally hated by the Continentals for his combat brutalities, Tarleton wrote this account of the last years of the Revolution and published it in London in 1787. Filled with documentation, statistics, and quotations from important letters as well as several unique maps, the work presented an exhaustive, extensively documented chronological history of the shifting of the war from New England and New York to the south, the arrival of Cornwallis, the state of the royal armies, and the battles at Catawba, "Guildford," "York town," and the end. Reprint edition. 2005: 530 pages.
