Christine Swager
Christine Swager

Christine Swager is the author of the 2002 Hub City title, Come to the Cow Pens!, a young reader's nonfiction book about the critical Revolutionary War battle in Cherokee County. Prior to the publication of this book, she published Black Crows and White Cockades, historic fiction based on life in Camden and If Ever Your Country Needs You, the story of Frances Marion's campaign. Both were for young adults.

Her most recent book, The Valient Died: The Battle of Eutaw Springs, is non-fiction for general readership; in other words, for adults who don't know their South Carolina history. It covers what happened in the South from 1779, when the British arrived, until they left in 1782.

She holds a Ph.D. in history from USC.
