I recently posted a notice about the special events at Cowpens National
Battlefield (about 10 mi. n. of Spartanburg and about 10 mi. w. of Gaffney on
SC 10.

For the last 2 months, I have worked almost non-stop plotting all possible
RevWar battle/skirmish locations using a collection of maps amounting to
over 2 gb, including the 1824 Mills SC Atlas, and 1:250,000 topo maps for 
all US sites..

Working from a listing of some 2900 sites worldwide, I have plotted all except
330 (about 89%).  I will be giving several presentations of this project using
a computer projector.  There will be time allowed in each session for audience
participation.

If RevWar battle sites are of interest to you in general, and those of SC in
particular, I believe you will find this project of interest.

I'll deal with interesting problems like:
-Which side of the Broad was Fishdam Ford *really* fought on?
-Was "McDowell's Camp on the Pacolet" really in SC as most listings show?
-Where in the world was Thicketty Fort?
-Which sites no longer exist?
-Which old roads lie beneath which modern highways?
