The untold story of America's Revolutionary War in the South | Walter Edgar's Journal Podcast - Video

This week on the Journal we will be talking with Alan Pell Crawford about his book, This Fierce People: The Untold Story of America's Revolutionary War in the South (2024, Alfred A. Knopf). In his book Alan tells the story of three-plus years in the Revolutionary war, and of the fierce battles fought in the South that made up the central theater of military operations in the latter years of the War.

And it was in these bloody battles that the British were, in essence, vanquished.

Join historian Dr. Walter Edgar and co-host Alfred Turner twice a month for conversations with guests about the history and culture of South Carolina and the American South – from the mysteries of okra to the long road to civil rights and much more.
