Tarleton Tour a Resounding Success

The Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution (SCAR) Corps of Discovery Tours joined forces with the American Revolution Round Table of Richmond (ARRT-R) to sponsor a tour envisioned by John Maass and inspired by his presentation to the ARRT-R earlier this year. The participants were allowed access to visit Revolutionary War historical sites that are not generally open to the public. On the day of the tour, June 7, participants braved record-setting heat (107 degrees Farenheit) to put "boots on the ground" and follow in the footsteps of Banastre Tarleton and his cavalry as they advanced on Charlottesville, VA, to "disturb the assembly".
