{"product_id":"mellichampe-william-gilmore-simms-9781611170627","title":"Mellichampe: A Legend of the Santee","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second of eight novels in the Revolutionary War series, William Gilmore Simms's revolutionary romance \u003ci\u003eMellichampe\u003c\/i\u003e follows the fictional band of Francis Marion's partisans in the fall of 1780 after the Battle of Camden, as they engage in guerrilla warfare on the Santee River against loyalist and British forces. Simms considered Mellichampe a \"Historical romance\" that accurately conveyed the career of Marion to the \"very letter of the written history,\" and a sequel to \u003ci\u003eThe Partisan\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eMellichampe\u003c\/i\u003e is, therefore, considered part of a trilogy within the Revolutionary series, a second installment resuming the narrative thread suspended at the conclusion of \u003ci\u003eThe Partisan\u003c\/i\u003e. However, all three of the books can stand alone as well. In dramatizing the partisan, guerilla tactics that took place in the Revolutionary War of South Carolina, Simms avoids romanticizing his patriot characters at the expense of British ones; in fact, Simms imbues all characters with a complexity that displays both virtue and vice, regardless of Whig or Tory commitments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Gilmore Simms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611170621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611170627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d","brand":"William Gilmore Simms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485660950783,"sku":"9781611170627","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b81671f-91b0-4344-af11-64f52d5f637c.jpg?v=1778050717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mellichampe-william-gilmore-simms-9781611170627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
