COLUMBIA, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – The South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust has released the first volume of the Francis Marion Papers which it believes has the potential to reshape the public’s understanding of one of the American Revolution’s most heroic figures.
The Francis Marion Papers includes, among over 600 historical documents, letters written to and from General Francis Marion otherwise known as Swamp Fox. The nickname came about as a result of his elusive guerrilla warfare tactics against British forces.
You may recall the movie “The Patriot” which featured Mel Gibson as a fictionalized version inspired by the Swamp Fox.
