  • Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion
    Vol. 4 No. 1_____________________________________ ________________January – March 2007 Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion The oil on canvas painting, General Marion Inviting a British Officer to Share His Meal, by Eutaw Springs artist John Blake White (1781 - 1859), memorializes the “Swamp Fox” sharing his sweet potato dinner with a British officer reported by “Parson” Mason Locke Weems in his highly romanticized The Life of General Francis Marion: A Celebrated Partisan Officer, in the Revolutionary War, Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia. This painting was presented to the United States Senate in 1899. According to the artist’s son, Octavius A. White: “the figure of Marion is a portrait from memory, as my father, when a boy, knew him well. Marion’s farm adjoined the plantation of my grandfather.” If this is true, this is the closest any artistic representation of Marion is to the artist having painted a contemporaneous image of the partisan. For more information on this painting, see the catalogue write-up at http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/artifact/Painting_33_00002.htm. For recent “news” on Oscar Marion, see http://fusilier.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/oscar-marion-is-anonymous-no-longer. The Francis Marion Trail Commission will seek out the documentation and archaeology to sort the myth from the man and to accurately depict the story of the Revolution in the Pee Dee and Lowcountry of South Carolina on those hallowed grounds. 1 Editor / Publisher’s Notes Academicians have many academic journals in which to publish articles, but the lay writers are much more limited.

  • Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781
    Vol. 4 No. 2.1_____________________________________________________ __April – June 2007 Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781 Fort Granby was built by the British and Loyalists around the Kershaw and Chesnut c. 1770 trading post on the western bluff overlooking the Congaree River. Located in an area historically called “the Congarees” which hosted two pre-revolutionary forts and trading posts dating back to 1715. German, Swiss and Scot-Irish immigrants established small farms in this area and Granby would later be the leading town for many years. This 1970 oil painting by Alfred Richardson Simson depicts the May 2-15, 1781 siege of the British post by the combined forces of SC militia Gen. Thomas Sumter and Continental Lt. Col. Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. A 263-man Loyalist force commanded by Maj. Andrew Maxwell defends the fortified frame house. Maxwell agreed to surrender provided he was allowed to maintain possession of his plunder. The green-jacketed Lt. Col. Lee, depicted to the left, watches his cannon engage the fort from the east side of the Congaree River as Gen. Sumter’s and Col. Thomas Taylor’s troops attack. The painting was photographed by Will Graves and enhanced for publication. Used by permission of The Cayce Historical Museum, 1800 12th Street, Cayce, SC where the original hangs.

Principal Investigator Terracon Consultants, Inc. 521 Clemson Rd Columbia, SC 29229 Re: Culclasure Farm Mine CRRS Calhoun County, South Carolina SHPO Project No. 15-ED0162 Dear William Green : Thank you for your letter of October 24, 2017, which we received on October 26, 2017, regarding the above-referenced project. We also received the draft report, Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey of Approximately 68 Acres at the Proposed Culclasure Farm Mine Calhoun County, South Carolina as supporting documentation for this undertaking. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is providing comments to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) pursuant to the South Carolina Mining Act (SC Code Title 48, Chapter 20, Sections 10-310) and its implementing regulations found at Chapter 89-120(C)(4) of the SC Code of Regulations. The reconnaissance survey investigated the approximately 68-acre project area. No archaeological or above-ground resources were identified. The project area was recommended as not likely to contain significant cultural and/or historical sites. No additional cultural resource investigations were recommended for the project area. Our office concurs with these recommendations. We accept the report as final. To complete the reporting process, please provide at least one (1) hard copy of a final report: one (1) unbound hard copy, as well as a digital copy in ADOBE Acrobat PDF format on CD. Investigators should send all copies directly to the SHPO. The SHPO will distribute the appropriate copies to SCIAA.

  • An Archeozogicaz Overview of the Project Area
    AN ARCHEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF SOUTH CAROLINA WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE CONGAREE RIVER VALLEY An ArcheoZogicaZ OVerview of the Project Area Archeological research within the Congaree River Valley may be regarded as a patchwork of several small investigations, published articles, and unpublished research. Wauchope (1939) described several Clovis points from South Carolina, two of which were found in the upper portion of the Congaree valley. Following Wauchope's brief research, Dr. Chapman J. Milling, a Columbia physician, published a book regarding historic and protohistoric accounts of South Carolina Indians, portions of which pertain to the Congaree (Milling 1940). Based on some ceramic sherds obtained from the Thorn's Creek site (38LX2), Griffin (1943) set forth the type description for Thorn's Creek pottery. In 1969, Robert L. Stephenson began recording sites within the valley, and in 1969, James Michie began excavating at the Thorn's Creek site. This research provided certain stratigraphic information which confirmed basic cultural sequences set forth by Coe (1964) in North Carolina. In 1970, Michie began investigations at the Taylor site (38LX1) which lasted for nearly two years (1970). These excavations clearly demonstrated that early Archaic material culture can exist in an undisturbed context, and if large enough areas are opened, intra-site patterns of human behavior can be determined. In 1972, Michie spent several months excavating portions of the Buycke's Bluff site (38LXl7), providing additional information concerning cultural sequences and geologic variability and its effect on the archeological record. These initial investigations in the late 1960's and the early 1970's served to indicate the relative importance of sites within the valley: sites can yield stratigraphy, and sites can yield relatively undisturbed patterns of human behavior.
