Expanding Battle

Maj. Joseph Winston and the Surry County riflemen fought stubbornly beside William Campbell and “Light-Horse Harry” Lee during the fierce struggle with British regiments at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. As Lee’s Legion veered southeast of the American second line, a large contingent of enemy troops pursued them into a separate engagement that took place a half-mile to the south, well beyond the present-day park boundary. The battle was far more sprawling than the tour road and boundaries indicate.
