15 Jul 1781 Jahr - Skirmish at Goose Creek Bridge

Beschreibung:

Brigadier General Thomas Sumter sent his troops along approaches to Charles Town to disrupt British communications, destroy outposts, and harass the enemy at every opportunity. After harassing the 15-Mile House and the 10-Mile House, Col. Wade Hampton, seized Goose Creek Bridge with little opposition. Lt. Col. Henry Lee was supposed to meet with Col. Wade Hampton at the bridge, but Lt. Col. Lee did not show up.
The Provincials under Lt. David Waugh retreated to the Quarter House. On Sunday, July 15th, Col. Hampton left the Goose Creek Bridge and went on to the nearby St. James Goose Creek Church.
