jul 30, 1780 - Skirmish at Thicketty Fort (Fort Anderson)

Description:

On July 26th, a Patriot force of NC, SC, and GA Patriots arrived at Fort Anderson, located southeast of Cowpens. Fort Anderson was also known as Thicketty Fort. The fort contained a Loyalist garrison inside commanded by Capt. Patrick Moore, who had been captured at Lawson's Fork, but managed to escape soon thereafter.
The Patriots persuaded the garrison to surrender, including one British Sergeant Major who was assigned to train the Loyalists, without firing a shot. They also captured 250 loaded muskets.
