We are pleased to offer the following book for sale. It has two large folding maps that locate troop placements within the topography of the area. You see, for instance, where Morgan's Riflemen were placed on a ridge overlooking the battlefield.
This is a first edition. You can probably find a modern reprint if you want a cheaper copy. But, this would make a fine addition to any Revolutionary War or Metal Detecting reference library.
$45 post paid. Send me a PM if you are interested. Pay by PayPal or return a check to me after you receive the book.
