Joe Epley Told Human Side of American Revolution
By Paul Whitfield
Joe Epley told us the human side of the American Revolution, a story almost never told. The mix of opinion, not unlike today, itself is a story. Back country militia versus back country militia is another story. Father versus son and brother versus brother, yet another. The history books tell us about the battle, but not about the people. And the people were what it was all about. History books were written and published in the north: Boston, New York, Philadelphia. They took little note of the war in the south or the significance of Kings Mountain or the Over Mountain men. They couldn't sell any books in the Carolina backwoods. Very few could read or write and none had the hard currency to buy books, so why would they care. Thanks, Joe for a good Joe S. Epley, APR
story. And story is what it is all about.
