Riassunto

Synopsis: A 21st-century academic and military officer travels back in time with his two famous Patriot family members to 1780 to find family honor, romance, and the truth about the Battle of Kings Mountain. His journey is a thoroughly researched, personal examination of his relatives' daily lives at their Quaker Meadows home near what is now Morganton, North Carolina, and their journey south to fight their British enemy. The Patriot victory there has been characterized by Thomas Jefferson as "The Turn of the Tide of Success in the American Revolution."
