Erick W. Nason grew up in Glens Falls in upstate New York, the heart of Rogers Rangers country, halfway between Fort Edward, Fort William Henry, Fort Ticonderoga, and other battlefields in between. He currently lives with his wife Karin in Sumter, South Carolina, near where General Sumter is buried. “I am retired Army Special Operations, served twenty years in both the Rangers and in Special Forces. I am a military historian working to preserve the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution by supporting the education program Liberty Live, Southern Campaign 1780, and Southern Battlefield Preservation Trust.” A battle reenactor for over thirty years, he is also a presenter at the annual Francis Marion Symposium. The author is currently a government contractor managing search and rescue programs for U.S. Air Force Central Command and the Middle East.
