The Wolf and the Fox: The Partisan Campaigns of Major Jacob Clarke - Paperback

by Erick W. Nason (Author)

Captain Jacob Clarke is promoted to major in the final years of the American Revolution. Along with General Francis Marion, their story, The Wolf and the Fox, continues the quest to liberate South Carolina from the British.

Some of the bloodiest fighting in the war is about to occur, spanning from Shubrick's Plantation to the last major battle in Eutaw Springs. Beginning in 1780, this historical tale concludes on Victory Day, December 16, 1783, when the triumphant revolutionary army liberates Charleston.

This is the sixth and final book in a series about Jacob Clarke that Erick W. Nason began writing in 2016. Holding a doctorate in history, he notes, "There is not much written on the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution."
