Dear Bernard
there was recent debate about the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse (we had a Heatwave over here which given 80 to 90 Soldiers died in this battle from Heatstroke it seems relevant) and in regards to was it a Win and Loss or a Draw for either Washington or Clinton. I was curious on your thoughts on the battle ? Otoh Clinton got away with his whole Waggon Train and his main Army avoided engagement of Washington forces could now fight toe to toe with the British. I’d love to know your thoughts on that fight ?
Regards
Geraint
P.S I don’t know if you read Historical Fiction given you write it but if you do can I recommend Washington and Caeser by Christian Cameron. Tells the story of Caeser an escaped Slave from Washington plantation and he joins the British to fight Washington. Like Sharpe and Wellington there’s a parallel though in this case the Protagonist is fighting Washington not with him. Anyway I think you’ll like it. He’s meant to be based on the real life Colonel Tye a Black Loyalist Guerrilla leader
