All in our Family, but Who Knew?
Nathaniel Philbrick's latest epic, “In the Hurricane's Eye: The Genius of George Washington and the Victory at Yorktown,” vividly describes the unlikely confluence of events that contributed to the winning of American independence from Great Britain. While the focal point of the book is the French fleet that isolated Lord Cornwallis' troops at Yorktown, the narrative includes rare successes of the Continental army and militias, at Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Guilford Courthouse, and concludes with "Acknowledgments" the first paragraph of which reads:
Although the Reverend Eugene McDowell did not live to see the publication of this book, he contributed greatly to its research, providing me with his own heavily annotated copy of John Buchanan's indispensable The Road to Guilford Courthouse as well as the many pictures he and his wife, Cathy, took during a tour of the Revolutionary War battlefields of the Carolinas.
