Description
A series of biographies of men and women from South Carolina whose heroic contributions to the American Revolution were individually unique and helpful in fighting off the British during the War of Independence. These volumes spotlight Patriots whose valiant efforts helped defeat the enemy in our country's struggle for self-government. Offering concise, reliable information, the series celebrates the ordinary individuals whose courage and conviction serve as impressionable examples.<p>In the Spring of 1780 Thomas Sumter galloped from his home in the High Hills to recruit a band of backwoodsmen in the Up Country of South Carolina. Darting out of the secret bases, he and his guerrilla troops ambushed the enemy fords and ferries along the Catawba and Wateree Rivers. Like a fighting gamecock he pit himself and his men against mightier British forces.
