31 ago 1781 ano - Skirmish at Ashley River Baptist Church

Descrição:

When Brigadier General Francis Marion set out against the British at Parker's Ferry on this same day he sent Capt. George Cooper with a detachment of mounted militia to create a diversion. At the Ashley River Church, his men attacked another group of Loyalists, which were using the church as a military station. Next, passing onto Goose Creek Road, he proceeded to the 10-Mile House, returned and passed over Goose Creek bridge, took a circuitous route around the British at Moncks Corner and arrived in camp at Peyre's Plantation near the canal, where Brigadier General Francis Marion now lay, with many prisoners, and without the loss of a man.
