1 apr 1781 anni - Skirmish at Bear Bluff

Descrizione:

A company of Patriots commanded by Capt. Daniel Morrall (Kingstree Regiment of Militia) was surprised by a large body of Loyalists commanded by Capt. Joshua Long. This contest was notable for the severity with which it was fought; after defending themselves to the last extremity, the Patriots were forced to capitulate, but Josias Sessions and eight other soldiers elected to swim the Waccamaw River in preference to being captured by the Loyalists.
