In 1848 Benson J. Lossing set out on an 8,000 mile journey that
took him to all of the thirteen original colonies and Canada. His
mission was to see and record the stories of the American
Revolution before they were lost to time and the rapid growth of
the still young United States. Two years later, he published his
Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution. The two volume set each
contained over a thousand pages with illustrations from the author.
It chronicles virtually every fight and skirmish of the war, the
stories often gleaned from eyewitnesses or their children. If an
American and a Briton stood on opposite banks of a stream and threw
rocks at each other, chances are it's recounted in Lossing's fine
work. Additionally, Lossing's book serves as a time capsule
travelogue of what America was like in the years just prior to the
Civil War. In this edition, editor Jack E. Fryar, Jr. has
reproduced the chapters of Lossing's work that pertain specifically
to North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Lavishly illustrated
by Lossing's wonderful drawings and with meticulous end notes that
read like a book in themselves, this seminal work is a super
addition to any history collection of the Revolutionary War in the
South, especially as it happened in the Carolinas or Georgia.
