March to Independence: The American Revolution in the Southern Colonies, 1775–1776 by Michael Cecere chronicles this crucial twelve-month period in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and East Florida both politically and militarily. This latest book in the JAR Books Series is illustrated with six original maps, including the battles of Great Bridge, Virginia, and Moores Creek Bridge, North Carolina. Fellow JAR contributor Gabriel Neville was an early reader and called it an, “important volume in restoring America’s lost memory of the early Revolution in the South.”
This is the third title Mike has contributed to the series, joining General Peter Muhelenberg: A Virginia Officer of the Continental Line and The Invasion of Virginia, 1781.
The book retails for $30.00 and is available for purchase by calling the University of Chicago Press Distribution Center at 800-621-2736, the publisher’s web site, or wherever books are sold.
