The "Swamp Fox"
Miniature of General Francis Marion – lapel pin with memorial card:
In the American Revolution, Francis Marion stepped forward with little but his passion for liberty and strength of Intellect.
He led a force of patriots that set the stage for the British defeat at Yorktown.
Loved by his followers, respected by his enemies, he is one of the foremost heroes of our War for Independence.
Known as the Swamp Fox for taking refuge in the forests and swamps,
he is considered one of the fathers of modern guerrilla warfare and
credited in the lineage of the United States Army Rangers.

Siege of Fort Watson
Monday to Monday, April 16-23, 1781
Directions: I-95 Exit 102, South of Summerton. Historic US 301 north, turn west onto Fort Watson Road (S-803). Marker at the Visitors Center and the Indian Mound, site of Fort Watson, is at the end of the road.
Colonel Harry Lee and Lee’s Legion from Virginia had joined General Marion and Marion’s Brigade on the Black River on April 14, 1781. Marion and Lee elected to capture the British fort, built in December 1780, Fort Watson on the Santee and beside Scott’s Lake, to secure the area and to get badly needed supplies. They laid siege to the fort. The cannon never arrived. “Col. Hezekiah Maham contrived to raise a tower of logs, so high that it overtopped the fort.” The tower was erected over night after collecting saplings for several days. The use of the tower by the McCottry riflemen at sunrise led to the quick surrender of Fort Watson by Lt. James McKay on the morning of April 23, 1781 and was the final Battle of Fort Watson.
