Bein' Greene (with an "e") James Dumas

"..... the enemy had upwards of 18,000 regular troops in the southern department last year. Upwards of 10,000 of these were in South Carolina and Georgia. I believe when it is known our force amounted to little more than 2,000 men, it will be difficult to account how the enemy have left this country" - General Nathanael Greene. YOU BE THE JUDGE! Should Major General Nathanael Greene be forgotten and stay in the dust bin of history or be remembered and respected? Historian and Pulitzer Prize winning author David McCullough has stated "the best General we have". BEIN' GREENE is written like no other book, similar to the song American Pie and the movie Forrest Gump. With the double meanings and tributes (over 200). If you are curious how the NFL New England Patriots and Americas Cultural Royalty have to do with a forgotten American Revolutionary Patriot Major General Nathanael Greene and one of the most popular women of her day Caty Greene, then this story could be for you. The Royalty include: The Disco Queen, Queen, Dancing Queen's ABBA, The Queen of Soul, The King of Rock and Roll, The King of Pop, The King of NASCAR, Martin Luther King, His Airness and The Greatest of All Time. Also this story with its double meanings connects recent events with the American Revolution. The events include: The 1960 British Invasion, The Blizzard of '78, Y2K, 9/11, The Curse of the Bambino, The Miracle on Ice to name a few.
