Doug's Great Uncle Tom Sumpter

This book about Thomas Sumpter (original spelling of his surname) has proven to be not only interesting, but has also revealed important information about my great grandmother, Anna Sumpter's older brother, Tom Sumpter, when they both grew up on Preddy Creek in old Louisa and Orange Counties, Virginia in the mid 1700's (today's Albemarle County); Tom Sumter was closely associated with two other relatives and well known Indian Fighters, Frontiersman, and Revolutionary heros, Colonel Benjamin Cleveland and Colonel Joseph Martin. The three of them were the local characters of their day, and each had exciting lives and adventures. The book is well researched, very revealing, and contains little known facts about the life and times of Thomas Sumter, the Gamecock of South Carolina. Robert Bass is to be commended for his excellent work. Doug Land Stafford, Virginia
