This military history examines the complex factors surrounding the execution of an American militia colonel in British-occupied Charleston, SC. South Carolina patriot militiamen played an integral role in helping the Continental army reclaim their state from its British conquerors. In Martyr of the American Revolution, Cordell L. Bragg, III, examines the events that set Col. Isaac Hayne into a disastrous conflict with two British officers, his execution in Charleston, and the repercussions that extended from South Carolina to the Continental Congress and the halls of British Parliament. Hayne was the most prominent American executed by the British for treason. He and his two principal antagonists, Lt. Col. Nisbet Balfour and Lt. Col. Francis Lord Rawdon, were unwittingly set on a collision course that climaxed in an act that sparked one of the war’s most notable controversies. Martyr of the American Revolution sheds light on why two professional soldiers were driven to commit a seemingly arbitrary deed that halted prisoner exchange and nearly brought disastrous consequences to captive British officers. The death of a patriot in the cause of liberty was not a unique occurrence, but the unusually well-documented events surrounding the execution of Hayne and the involvement of his friends and family makes his story compelling and poignant. Unlike young Capt. Nathan Hale, who suffered a similar fate in 1776, Hayne did not become a folk hero. Yet his execution became an international affair debated in both Parliament and the Continental Congress.

Moultrie's service to state and country has earned him a respected place in history.

In the summer of 1925, the John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital opened with 100 beds, an active medical staff of 15 physicians, and a staff of 11 registered nurses. At the time, it was the most modern and advanced medical facility of its size anywhere. Today, the 264-bed hospital is served by a medical staff of over 130 physicians and nearly 650 nurses and is the anchor of a healthcare system that serves fifteen counties in Southwest Georgia. A Century of Healing tells the story of an institution's journey from a small-town hospital to a regional hub. The growth of the John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital paralleled the development of Thomasville and Thomas County, Georgia, and the increasing sophistication of U.S. healthcare. Over a century, Archbold's directors and trustees ensured that the hospital remained at the forefront of American healthcare by overseeing brick-and-mortar additions, expansions of service lines, extensions of services beyond the local area, and the acquisition of cutting-edge technology. With A Century of Healing, Dr. Bragg achieves a balance between careful and accurate documentation of facts and readability to craft a historical account that covers facts but still holds the general reader's interest. His analysis is certainly more macroscopic than microscopic. Nevertheless, it comes with the realization that a centennial history or institutional memoir of a hospital is not just the story of a brick-and-mortar building. Instead, the brick-and-mortar building is the story's setting of a people-a small Southwest Georgia town's doctors, nurses, patients, technicians, families, citizens, politicians, businesspeople, and "winter visitors"-and their healthcare. To that end, he has not hesitated to detour his narrative down whatever interesting rabbit holes he encountered to tell the human side of the story of a big-city hospital located in a small Georgia town.

A historical study of a little-known episode of the American Revolution in which Charleston residents were held in a British-occupied region of Florida. In the months following the May 1780 capture of Charleston, South Carolina, by combined British and loyalist forces, British soldiers arrested sixty-three Americans and transported them to the borderland town of St. Augustine, East Florida—territory under British control since the French and Indian War. In Patriots in Exile, James Waring McCrady and C. L. Bragg chronicle the banishment of these southerners, the hardships endured by their families, and the plight of the enslaved men and women who accompanied them. McCrady and Bragg examine the events from various perspectives, including the British who governed occupied Charleston, the families left behind, the armies in the field, the Continental Congress, and finally the Jacksonboro Assembly of January and February 1782. Using primary sources and archival materials, the authors develop biographical sketches of each exile and illuminate important facets of the American Revolution’s southern theater. While they shared a common fate, the exiles were a diverse lot of tradesmen, artisans, prominent civilians, military officers, and others—among them three signers of the Declaration of Independence. Although they had clear socioeconomic differences, most were unrepentant patriots forced to navigate complex and dangerous circumstances.
