Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution (SCAR) is an informal fellowship of people with an interest in the events, people, places, and ideas surrounding the American War of Independence. We organize conferences, roundtables, field trips, and archaeological expeditions to promote research and sharing of information and to promote scholarly debate on Revolutionary War topics. And we publish the on-line journal, Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution. We also facilitate the discovery, preservation, interpretation, and promotion of Revolutionary War historic sites on the ground.
The journal, both in print and on-line, was founded in September 2004 by David P. Reuwer and Charles B. Baxley.
