In this time of renewed patriotism, it is hard to imagine that one of our first patriots has been forsaken by historians and forgotten by the American public. But that is what has happened to the memory of Maj-Gen Nathanael Greene. Washington's second in command during the Revolutionary War and hero of the Southern Campaign. No more than a footnote in many books, Greene almost single-handedly won the American Revolution in the waning days of the war and was thought of as an icon to its people, second again, only to George Washington. Learn about this man, this soldier, this patriot.

Now, he is little more than a footnote in history books and his name brings nothing but empty stares from the people he helped create. Learn about the man, understand the soldier, remember the patriot that was Nathanael Greene.
