The Papers of General Nathanael Greene

“This comprehensive and authoritative edition of [Nathanael Greene’s] papers-a tribute to the scholars who for more than thirty years gathered and prepared texts-makes clear what a complex and talented man Greene was and why the winning of independence was such an arduous task.” — Journal of Southern History

“The Papers of Nathanael Greene took over a generation to complete and the institutional sponsors of the thirteen volumes should be applauded for their sustained commitment. Equally impressive is the ability of successive editors to maintain high editorial standards over such a long period. These volumes will endure.” — Journal of Military History

“Like the previous volumes of Greene papers, [these five] maintain the highest standards of editorial excellence. . . . Their publication offers an opportunity to examine American conduct of the military effort in the South, primarily by assessing Greene’s role as commander of the Southern Department.” — William & Mary Quarterly

“[This book] will be a useful resource for scholars and students seeking to understand life in the South in the waning months of the Revolution. . . . The editors' careful and clear annotation helps the reader navigate through the documents. This book lives up to the reputation of its predecessors in this fine series.” — North Carolina Historical Review
