Abstract:

The Southern campaign of the American Revolution came to a climax in Guilford County on March 15, 1781. Some 4,000 Americans, under the command of Nathanael Greene, waited as Lord Cornwallis approached from the west. Among Greene's men was Peter Francisco. Taylor recounts the events of that day in which Francisco killed eleven British soldiers but was badly wounded and later events of his life.
