Quotes by Melissa Walker (?)

“Issac Shelby: “Let each one of you be your own officer, and do the very best you can, taking every care you can of yourselves, and availing yourselves of every advantage that chance may throw in your way. If in the woods, shelter yourselves, and give them Indian play; advance from tree to tree, pressing the enemy and killing and disabling all you can.”
― Melissa Walker, The Battles of Kings Mountain and Cowpens: The American Revolution in the Southern Backcountry
