Thanks for thaat link Pharmboy.

Greene was a great general and a Great American. Never got to Guilford so this is another reason for another trip down there.

Did get to King’s Mountain and Cowpens though.

Its unfortunate Greene died so soon after the war. He might have made a great President someday.

Greensboro is a fun town, but there *really* is not much at the battlefield park. It's a nice park to walk in, and the historical context is interesting, but there's not much there to see.

Once or twice a year, they do some re-enactments. Those are worth attending, certainly. But - if I came a long way to visit the battlefield, I think that I'd leave disappointed.

I've not been to the library yet.
