Another Such Victory: The Story of the American Defeat at Guilford Courthouse that Helped Win the War for Independence

"Another such victory would ruin the British Army," Charles James Fox stated before the House of Commons, when news reached London of the skirmish the British had won at Guildford Courthouse.In March 1781, war-seasoned British soldiers under General Cornwallis forced American patriot Nathanael Greene's Continental Army to retreat into the fields and forests of North Carolina. Even though this skirmish resulted in a British victory, it also critically cost England the war. Filled with maps and illustrations, Another Such Victory provides an outstanding overview of the engagement. Author Thomas E. Baker's narrative of this clash, including the military tactics employed, ultimately celebrates the sacrifices Colonials made for the sake of Independence. Includes battlefield maps and numerous photos and illustrations.
