Just saw that you had done some work on the [[Nathanael Greene]] article. It's had quite a bit done to it since it's initial approval, so it's probably time we get it reapproved. I was wondering if you could provide references for the quotes you added? I'm not questioning their accuracy, I just think it's nice to provide sources for direct quotes. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 22:28, 7 January 2008 (CST) | Just saw that you had done some work on the [[Nathanael Greene]] article.

Greene
Just saw that you had done some work on the Nathanael Greene article. It's had quite a bit done to it since it's initial approval, so it's probably time we get it reapproved. I was wondering if you could provide references for the quotes you added? I'm not questioning their accuracy, I just think it's nice to provide sources for direct quotes. --Todd Coles 22:28, 7 January 2008 (CST)
Nice to meet you Constable Coles.
I live in Virginia where Greene crossed the Dan River and where we have a permanent exhibit opening next month to highlight the Crossing of the Dan and the Southern Campaign. See this Web site: http://www.prizery.com/RacetotheDan/Exhibit.htm
The whole story is here: http://www.prizery.com/ExhibitPlanningOverview.htm
It's been so long now that I don't remember what quotes I gave earlier. Can you give me clue? I don't know how to review my earlier edits.
I've just now sent in an edited middle paragraph of the Strategic Retreat section. It's probably the same section I had sent in edits before. This version doesn't have any quote in it.
I thought the word "abandon" was wrong since he did go back to North Carolina. I also thought that the words "to cover the main army’s retreat and slow down Cornwallis" were completely wrong. Greene split his army with half - 700 - going north as a diversionary force to buy his main army time to get to the river further east.
If you'd like a subpage on the Race to the Dan I could do that or just add another section to the Strategic retreat.
Let me know what you think, Dan
