Francis Marion: The Swamp Fox
In 1780, when the British took Charleston, it looked as if the rest of South Carolina might end up in Loyalist hands. But a band of Patriot partisans, operating out of the Pee Dee River swamp areas, kept humiliating the British with repeated surprise attacks. Their leader? Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. https://www.battlefields.org/untold

Francis Marion’s Attack at Tearcoat Swamp and Tarleton’s Revenge
The American Revolutionary War skirmish at Tearcoat Swamp was one of a series of battles in South Carolina which shaped the overall war effort. More American Revolutionary War battles were fought in South Carolina than in any other American colony. The brief but very violent action had several significant results in that the Tory, or Loyalist, recruiting campaign in that area of South Carolina was temporarily nullified, Patriot morale was lifted, the British were forced to react to Patriot commander Francis Marion's actions, and Marion gained critical provisions without a single soldier lost. This series South Carolina Battles in the American Revolution is produced by Dr. Paul T. Carter and South Carolina Revolutionary War researcher and author C.

"A Kind of Partisan War": An Archaeological Perspective on Francis Marion | Steven Smith
When Nathanael Greene was appointed commander of the southern Continental forces in the fall of 1780, he wrote to George Washington that he would be forced to fight “a kind of partisan war,” until he could raise an army large enough to contend with the British. Greene’s strategy was to check the main British army while partisan militia leaders like Thomas Sumter, Francis Marion and Andrew Pickens harassed the British supply lines. Marion was the most famous and successful of these partisans. Steven Smith of the University of South Carolina discusses the results of over twenty years of archaeological investigations on the partisan career of Francis Marion, with a focus on the search for Marion’s Snow’s Island camp, the Siege of Fort Motte and the Battle of Parkers Ferry.

The
American Revolutionary War skirmish at Tearcoat Swamp was one of a series of battles in South Carolina which shaped the overall war effort. More American Revolutionary War battles were fought in South Carolina than in any other American colony. The brief but very violent action had several significant results in that the Tory, or Loyalist, recruiting campaign in that area of South Carolina was temporarily nullified, Patriot morale was lifted, the British were forced to react to Patriot commander Francis Marion's actions, and Marion gained critical provisions without a single soldier lost. This series South Carolina Battles in the American Revolution is produced by Dr. Paul T. Carter and South Carolina Revolutionary War researcher and author C. Leon Harris, who has written a more detailed account of the skirmish at Academia.edu. That paper is located at https://www.academia.edu/115074584/FRANCIS_MARIONS_ATTACK_AT_TEARCOAT_SWAMP_AND_TARLETONS_REVENGE
The information for gun ownership comes from a meticulous 2005 study of 18th and 19th century probate records from two researchers at Northwestern University school of Law show that only 15 percent of households before 1790 owned guns and just 21 percent before 1830. By 1849 about 1/3 of households owned guns probably due to industry and the ability to manufacture firearms.
The data on the most Revolutionary War battles being fought in South Carolina comes from F. B. Heitman's "Historical Register of Officers in the Continental Army." Heitman's book is a free download at"

When Nathanael Greene was appointed commander of the southern Continental forces in the fall of 1780, he wrote to George Washington that he would be forced to fight “a kind of partisan war,” until he could raise an army large enough to contend with the British. Greene’s strategy was to check the main British army while partisan militia leaders like Thomas Sumter, Francis Marion and Andrew Pickens harassed the British supply lines. Marion was the most famous and successful of these partisans. Steven Smith of the University of South Carolina discusses the results of over twenty years of archaeological investigations on the partisan career of Francis Marion, with a focus on the search for Marion’s Snow’s Island camp, the Siege of Fort Motte and the Battle of Parkers Ferry.
About the Speaker
Steven Smith is a professor of conflict archaeology and the anthropology of warfare at the University of South Carolina. He obtained a B.A. in history from the Virginia Military Institute in 1973 and an M.A. in anthropology from the University of Kentucky in 1983. He has worked in the private sector as a contract archaeologist, in the public sector as a historical archaeologist with the state of Louisiana, and has been with the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology since 1986. He obtained his Ph.D. in anthropology in 2010 at the University of South Carolina. In 2011 he was named associate director of SCIAA and director in 2014. Steve’s research interests have included studies and books on historic period settlement at military installations like Fort Polk, Fort Leonard Wood and Camp Atterbury, Indiana. He has also researched the lives of African American soldiers at Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Huachuca and Fort Bragg, and conducted a nationwide study of African American military history for the U.S. Army Corps. In the last thirty years, he has focused on battlefields and conflict sites in the southeast, especially those of the Civil War and American Revolution. His latest books include a co-edited volume on asymmetric warfare entitled Partisans, Guerillas, and Irregulars: The Historical Archaeology of Asymmetric Warfare (University of
Alabama Press, 2019), and Francis Marion and the Snow’s Island Community: Myth, History, and Archaeology (United Writers Press, 2021).
