[1041] H. E. Turner's Greenes of Warwick (Newport, 1877).
[1042] See especially Greene's Greene (all references in this chapter are to the three-volume edition, unless otherwise stated), iii., Appendix, pp. 541-547; Johnson's Greene, i. 218-221 and 326; Sparks, Correspondence of the Revolution, iii. 118-189; Reed's Reed, ii., passim and App.; Maryland Papers; Charleston News and Courier for May 10th, 1881; Rhode Island Colonial Records, vol. ix., and R. I. Hist. Soc. Coll., vol. vi. Many of these letters will be referred to in the notes. In two letters from Knox to Greene (Drake's Knox, 67 and 68) the lighter side of Greene's character appears.
[1043] Caldwell sought interviews with Greene's relatives, and says that his sources were "as ample and authentic as any now existing;" and he represents that his account of the fight at Ramsour's Mill is the only event of moment in which he differs materially from other writers.—Ed.
[1044] Sketches of the Life and Services of Nathanael Greene, Major-General of the Armies of the United States, in the War of the American Revolution. Compiled chiefly from original materials. By William Johnson of Charleston, South Carolina, 1822. Two volumes, folio. A good review of this work is in the United States Magazine and Literary Repository for January, 1823, pp. 3-23.
[1045] This of course provoked the reviewers, and especially Jared Sparks,—then editor of the North American Review,—though his criticisms are for the most part directed against portions of the work that do not concern us here.
[1046] The Campaign of 1781 in the Carolinas, with remarks, historical and critical, on Johnson's Life of Greene, to which it added an Appendix of original documents, by H. Lee, Philadelphia, 1824.
[1047] The Life of Nathanael Greene, ... by George Washington Greene, N. Y., 1871. The life intermediate between these two was written in Rome, far away from the proper materials. It therefore is of little value compared with the larger work. It forms volume xx. of Sparks's American Biography. In 1877 appeared A Biographical Discourse delivered at the unveiling of the statue ... to the memory of Major-general Nathanael Greene, by his Grandson, G. W. Greene. But the address, owing to the ill-health of the author, was not delivered. It contains a good short summary of the Southern campaign. Cf. an Eulogium on Major-general Greene, delivered before the Society of the Cincinnati by Alexander Hamilton, July 4, 1789, in Hamilton's Works, ii. 481; and Lodge's ed., vol. vii.; see also Headley's Washington and his Generals, ii. 7-77; Lives of the Heroes, 27-75; Wilson, Biography, 278-286; Rogers, Biog. Dict., 170-185; American Biography (1825), pp. 158-182, etc., etc.
On the grant to Greene for his services, see the paper on the sea-islands, in Harper's Mag., Nov., 1878. Cf. B. P. Poore, Desc. Catal. of gov't publ., p. 1293. Recently published personal detail is in Providence Plantations (Providence, 1886), p. 62; John Bernard's Retrospections, p. 103.—Ed.
The place of Greene's burial has aroused some controversy. Cf. C. C. Jones, Sepulture of Greene and Pulaski (1885). A description of the monument to his memory at Savannah is in Mag. of Amer. Hist., xvi. 297. Cf. Hist. Mag., iii. 369.
[1048] The Life of General Daniel Morgan, with portions of his correspondence, compiled by James Graham, N. Y., 1856. Besides this there is a sketch of Morgan's career in Lee, Memoirs, i. 386. Cf. also Lives of the Heroes, 76-89; Wilson, Biography, etc., 31-38; Rogers, Biog. Dict., 309-316; Headley, ii. 366-372. The Hero of Cowpens, A Centennial Sketch by Mrs. McConkey, N. Y., 1881, is of no value. Am. Hist. Record, i. 111, contains an account of The Grave of Daniel Morgan, with illustrations.
