About
The former Chief Registrar of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in charge of worldwide art movements, upon retirement I took up my first love, writing, and have published four histories. (1) The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolution in the Carolinas; (2) Jackson's Way: Andrew Jackson and the People of the Western Waters; (3) The Road to Valley Forge: How Washington Built the Army That Won the Revolution; (4) The Road to Charleston: Nathanael Greene and the American Revolution. I have also published short stories in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and a self-published novel, The Rise of Stefan Gregorovic. I am now working a volume for the small battle series of the Revolutionary War; and a longer work on the Indian wars from the Powhatan War of 1622 to the 1814 Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

The Road to Charleston: Nathanael Greene and the American Revolution
This is the second and final volume of my study of the Revolutionary War in the the Carolinas and Georgia and concentrates on the extreme difficulties faced by American commander, Major General Nathanael Greene, including a severe logistics problem, political turmoil, and the nightmare of a savage civil war between Rebels and Tories that often sank to vigilante actions and "destroyed more property and shed more American blood than the whole British army." Close attention is paid not only to the partisan fighting and major battles, but Greene's successful efforts to re-establish civil government in South Carolina and Georgia.
