Saturday, February 15, 20259:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST
Category: NATIONAL EVENT – VASSAR SPONSORED

Following an American victory at the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina in January 1781, General Nathanael Greene’s southern army outran British forces under Lord Cornwallis as both armies raced northward across the Carolinas. In what became known as the Race to the Dan, a few weeks later, on February 14, 1781, became “The Crossing” when Greene’s army crossed the Dan River to safety near South Boston.
This year, we are honored to have Dr. Lawrence Babits, Author of Devil of a Whipping: The Battle of Cowpens returns to the Crossing of the Dan stage. He will be discussing “The Nathanael Greene Trail Meets the Race to the Dan – Southern Army Logistics January-March 1781.” This presentation will address the arming and supplying of the Southern Army for General Greene’s campaign to Guilford Courthouse and the historic race to the Dan River.
