Overview
Though Laurens (1754-82) was best known for reckless bravery in a succession of major battles and sieges for US independence, Massey (history, Freed-Hardeman U., Henderson, Tennessee) finds even more remarkable his revolutionary ideas concerning the rights of African Americans, especially for someone from South Carolina. The full biography includes his plan to free slaves in return for their service in the Continental Army. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
