Nathanael Greene was the epitome of the amateur soldiers who led the patriot effort. He was the man Washington selected to take over the Continental Army if Washington himself was killed.

It also illuminates the war in the South, where Greene confounded British plans and set the scene for the patriot victory at Yorktown.
From Jack's list on the American Revolutionary War from five different perspectives.
