apr 25, 1781 - Battle of Hobkirk's Hill (2nd Battle of Camden)

Description:

The battle of Hobkirk's Hill was fought on April 25th between the British garrison forces at Camden, commanded by Col. Francis, Lord Rawdon and Patriot forces commanded by Major General Nathanael Greene. The location of the battle site at the time was a couple of miles north of the town of Camden. British forces were samller in number nevertheless, they gave a good account of themselves and the Patriots, narrowly avoiding being routed, ended up withdrawing and leaving the field of battle to the enemy. However, due to Lord Rawdon's inability to replenish his losses, he soon abandoned Camden and withdrew to a consolidated position at Charles Town.
