William Bingham Meade: My Story of the Battle of Cowpens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997024067)

William Bingham Meade was the fourth great grandfather of the author, Elaine Meddings. This book tells his story, starting at the Battle of Cowpens in northwestern South Carolina. For many historians, the Battle of Cowpens was the turning point in the American Revolutionary War. William was seriously wounded at the Battle of Cowpens and spent a long time in hospital thereafter. Then, after he recovered sufficiently, he moved to what is now Mingo County, West Virginia. After the War, those who served in the Continental Army were given Treasury Warrants which were redeemable for land in certain states and territories. What happened to William before and at the Battle of Cowpens is chronicled in this book and the mystery of what happened to his Treasury Warrant is introduced. The mystery continues to this day.
