31 mayo 1780 año - Skirmish at Beckhamville (Beckham's Old Field or Alexander's Old Field)

Descripción:

Although the Loyalists, led by a Colonel Houseman, numbered about two hundred, they were defeated and dispersed by the small Patriot force of 32 Patriot militia lead by Capt. John McClure and Capt. John Simpson. This was the first Patriot victory after the fall of Charles Town, and the beginning of a great wave of backcountry resistance to the British and their Loyalist allies. The site of this battle was at present-day Beckhamville, a short distance west of Great Falls.
