Story Plot

The Patriotic 1776 revival starts here. Proudly celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with a Patriotic Music Extravaganza. How did the Patriots go from a shot around the world; a Declaration; barely surviving; to winning the war? After two humiliating defeats in the south, Nathanael Greene was selected the commander to rebuild the Southern Continental Army. Nathanael lived the American Dream and was an unlikely soldier, never mind being second in command. This is the much forgotten story of Major General Nathanael Greene's and his wife Caty Greene's contributions. His innovative Southern Campaign caused Cornwallis’ remaining forces to flee to Yorktown where they surrendered ending the conflict.

  • Ok, thanks.
  • In addition to voting in the fantasy casting, remember to add a review in Amazon after reading GREENE. Bottom line: is there enough "grass roots" interest to show GREENE live on Broadway and/or video like Netflix?
  • Happy National Underdog Day and Bill of Rights Day! General Nathanael Greene may be the best underdog story ever lived since his army was outnumbered by Cornwallis' well trained army 9 to 1. Wihout Greene, there wouldn't be a Bill of Rights Day.
  • Happy Boston Tea Party 250th. Of course the little known Gaspee Affair in little Rhode Island happened a year and a half earlier, June 9 1772. It took ten grueling years after the Tea Party to win independence, Sept 3 1783, thanks to patriots like Nathanael Greene.
