… 1776 – 1783 "Oscar E. "Ed" Gilbert Jr. served as an artilleryman and NCO instructor in the Marine Corps Reserve before earning a Ph.D., working for the Geological Survey in Alabama, and teaching at Auburn University. He enjoyed a three-decade career in worldwide oil exploration. Ed was the author of many books, including Marine Corps Tank Battles in Korea (2006), and Marine Corps Tank Battles in Vietnam (2008). He was awarded the 2016 General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award for Tanks in Hell: A Marine Corps Tank Company on Tarawa (2015). Ed passed away in February 2019. ****** Catherine R. Gilbert is a retired speech pathologist and audiologist. Her interest in genealogy led to extensive research into the organization and function of the Southern state militias (from Maryland to the Carolinas) in the American Revolution. With Ed, she co-authored True for the Cause of Liberty: The Second Spartan Regiment in the American Revolution; Cowpens 1781: Turning Point of the American Revolution. Catherine holds the non-profit Presidential Service Center Distinguished Service Medal." link

The above volume isn't out yet, supposedly it will be published later this year. Anyone interested in Tarleton might be interested in the following and in his own memoir: link link Nancy Stewart, who is (and hopefully is still there and not retired) the historian at Guilford Courthouse is a walking encyclopedia on Tarleton. |

Any idea what her thoughts are on Tarleton's quarter?
Thanks John |

No. I didn't ask her at the time we discussed it and she convinved me to buy The Green Dragoon as one of the better books on Tarleton. |

>>she convinved me to buy The Green Dragoon as one of the better books on Tarleton. Glad to know. Had my copy for twenty years and he's not a very nice man, at home or away… (re-read for you know what research)

The sad thing about "The Patriot" is that those concerned with historical accuracy are forced to say, "Well, he wasn't THAT bad." |

SM warned that there were inaccuracies with the book. I have it, but haven't read it yet. He was a mixed bag, and very young for what he achieved. I am led to believe he was one of a cadre of young officers that felt the war wasn't being prosecuted hard enough by the Crown. |
