7 nov 1780 año - Skirmish at Richbourg's Mill

Descripción:

Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleston was ordered out of Logtown (next to Camden) to find Col. Francis Marion. Lt. Col. Tarleton found his way to the late Brigadier General Richard Richardson's home, bivouacked, and lit several large fires.
Col. Francis Marion, attracted by the fire lights, began scouting the area. Mrs. Richardson sent her son Col. Richard Richardson, Jr. to warn Col. Marion. When he learned of Lt. Col. Tarleton's planned ambush he quickly withdrew to the east of Jack's Creek, most likely to the area near Richbourg's Mill and plantation.
Lt. Col. Tarleton learned of this and gave chase early the next day.
