The Old Grey Wolf: The Southern Campaigns of Captain Jacob Clarke - Paperback

by Erick W. Nason (Author)

In this fifth book of the Jacob Clarke series, the American Revolution heads to South Carolina, as Great Britain sets its sights on defeating the South. Having fought to a stalemate in the North, the British capture Savannah, Georgia, and then start a campaign to take the rest of the region.

The brave Americans of the Southern Army try to stop the first British attempt on Charles Town. Then comes the bloody assault to take back Savannah. Jacob Clarke leads his men in the defense of South Carolina. Serving as the eyes and ears of the Southern Army, he tracks the British advance. From the bloody ramparts of Savannah to the siege lines of Charles Town, Jacob and the brave men of the 2nd South Carolina met a challenge that would try men's souls.

The book covers 1779 to 1781, pivotal years in the Southern Campaign, that gave birth to the partisans under Marion and Sumter. While the series is considered historical fiction, there is more fact than fiction.
