Thanks for the book reference. Yes, I know it wasn't just the British who sacked and robbed during the Revolutionary War or the Federals in the WBTS. In the Pennsylvania Revolutionary War info I posted links to above, it was the allies of the British, the Indians, who did most of the attrocities up there.

Speaking of books, I have "The Green Dragoon: The Lives of Banastre Tarleton and Mary Robinson", by Robert D. Bass, but it has been on my shelf since I got it some years ago at the Kings Mountain State Park book store. One day I'll get around to reading it. Until then it will serve as a reference book should I need information about Tarleton.

When Nathanael Greene got there, he wrote back "the Whigs and Tories pursue one another with the most relentless Fury killing and destroying each other wherever they meet. Indeed a great Part of the Country is already laid Waste & in the utmost danger of becoming a Desert."

Sounds like East Tennessee in the 1860s. Recriminations there did not stop when the WBTS ended.

Correction. I think the book store I purchased my book in is at the Kings Mountain National Military Park, not the South Carolina Kings Mountain State Park that adjoins(?) the Military Park. Whatever, the Kings Mountain book store is better (wider selection) than the average park book store.
