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. SCAR does not Playing an academic hand see the need for another scholarly journal that has limited accessibility and broad focus. Clearly, SCAR is written for readers From time-to-time, we discourse with people about the scope of with a deep interest in the southern campaigns of the American this journal, its future direction and target audience of SCAR.

We do edit the articles for Marion University, he tactfully reminded me that the “academic substance and readability, although we concede that not every word way” was fully referenced, peer-reviewed publications. What he published is worthy of the reader’s agonizing consideration. We did not say was how much time and effort are necessarily involved want to appeal to a broad amateur and professional audience of in that process, including selecting peer reviewers, getting peer historians and buffs, genealogists, living history hobbyists, and reviewers to work it into their schedules, and then refereeing what, professional and amateur archaeologists and give these folks voice. if any comments need to be reedited into an article prior to its Additionally, we want to provide news of activities in historical publication. Nor did he mention the typical circulation of these research, preservation, living history events, and archaeology. journals and the offs of a layman’s research being chosen for publication. No doubt that academic integrity is critical and having SCAR recognizes the principal that most great discoveries and educational leaders remind SCAR that there is a reason for this revelations are built upon the shoulders of scholars who came process is a good reminder. It is like going to church: the preacher before and we, like Sir Isaac Newton, have the advantage of being does not tell you anything that you already do not know, but able to stand upon the shoulders of intellectual giants. Indeed, the certainly things you need to be reminded of every week. Internet provides access to a multitude of resources that would have been unimaginable even to Newton. SCAR does enjoy publishing SCAR does employ a process of insuring integrity, but it is not the original research, especially to bring together for the first time equivalent of full academic journal peer review. Two or more battlefield analysis, unit histories and personalities associated with experienced editors review each article published by SCAR. There the war. We also like to republish and make available online for is some fact checking and often discourse between SCAR editors your use and enjoyment in research the obscure journals, letters, and authors if it appears that an article’s positions are out of the documents, maps, and articles which may be technically publicly historical norm. However, SCAR tries never to squelch the voice of available but either unknown or only located in one archive so as to the author and, where proof seems tenuous, we only add hedge frustrate access by the average student. Part of SCAR’s mantra is to words or editorial parenthetical to indicate that all facts are not locate the relevantly obscure and make it readily available. universally recognized as presented. Another specific goal is to give a voice to both our amateur and professional researchers and to broker the exchange of information At present, SCAR has elected not to evolve into a full peer- between normally disparate groups interested in the southern reviewed academic journal because of the difficulty of meeting our campaigns. aggressive publication schedules and having enough qualified peer- reviewers volunteer to thoughtfully comment on each article. Having examined several popular magazines, such as Military History Quarterly, Sea History, Muzzleloader, and periodicals The second tried and true element of academic integrity is devoted to other military history, I find that our articles are publishing fully referenced articles. Referencing provides three generally longer, more detailed, and more highly referenced, all of important functions: first and foremost, to give credit where credit which probably works to discourage a larger, more general is due; secondly, to lead future researchers to source audience….perhaps. documentation; and thirdly, to assure academic integrity by disclosing research basis and insuring verifiability. SCAR has SCAR and its sister projects [i.e. ARCHH, Inc. archaeological wrestled with whether to publish only fully referenced articles or investigations, John Robertson’s Global Gazetteer, our on-line not. Thus far, we have elected to publish some interesting but non- pension affidavits database, annotated source journals, John referenced papers, although our feature articles are typically fully Robertson’s on-line library and maps] aspire to become the referenced. It is clear to our readers that some of the articles are universally available journal of record of original, publisher of intend to be more scholarly and analytical, and some are written groundbreaking Revolutionary War research and an open-source more for reading pleasure and information so that there is a blend critical mass of source documentation. of popular history and scholarly discourse in our magazine. In 2007, SCAR will continue our partnerships with the Francis Referencing is different from annotating. For example, when we Marion Trail Commission, Southern Revolutionary War Institute, publish annotated pension statements, the footnotes are usually various Southern Revolutionary War sites, and patriotic explanatory in nature, especially in matters of geography or organizations. We will sponsor conferences, archaeology projects, biography. site preservation and interpretation, fellowship opportunities, and field trips. SCAR will conceive and cooperate with new coalitions This leads us to the question of SCAR’s target audience. We to raise the bar in doing excellent work with Revolutionary persons, purposefully pilot SCAR broadly across a wide landscape for places and things. David Reuwer reflects: “The Revolutionary War conceivable market interest. One thing that I have noticed about works on each of us in all sorts of ways, but above all the most scholarly journals is that there are very few general readers Revolutionary War works on us through each other.

The Archaeological Reconnaissance and Computerization of Hobkirk’s Hill (ARCHH) project has begun initial field operations on this built-over, urban battlefield in Camden, South Carolina. We are using the professional-amateur cooperative archaeology model, loosely based upon the successful BRAVO organization of New Jersey. We have identified an initial survey area and will only test properties within this initial survey area until we demonstrate artifact recoveries to any boundary. Metal detectorist director John Allison believes that this is at least two years' work. Since the battlefield is in well-landscaped yards and there are dozens of homeowners, we are only surveying areas with landowner permission and we will not be able to cover 100% of the land in the survey area. We have a neighborhood meeting planned to explain the archaeological survey project to the landowners. SCAR will provide project handouts and offer a walking battlefield tour for William T. Ranney’s masterpiece, painted in 1845, showing Hobkirk Hill neighbors and anyone else who wants to attend on the final cavalry hand-to-hand combat at Cowpens, hangs Sunday, January 29, 2006 at 3 pm. [Continued on p. 17.] in the South Carolina State House lobby. Most modern living historians believe that Ranney depicted the uniforms quite inaccurately. Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton’s British Legion cavalry is thought to have been clothed in green tunics and Lt. Col. William Washington’s cavalry in white. The story of Washington’s trumpeter or waiter [Ball, Collin, Collins] shooting a legionnaire just in time as Washington’s sword broke is also not well substantiated or that he was a black youth as depicted.

Smith 2 To my mother, who generated my fascination for all things historical 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Jon Sensbach and Jessica Harland-Jacobs for their patience and edification throughout the entire writing process. I would also like to thank Ida Altman, Jack Davis, and Richmond Brown for holding my feet to the path and making me a better historian. I owe a special debt to Jim Cusack, John Nemmers, and the rest of the staff at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and Special Collections at the University of Florida for introducing me to this topic and allowing me the freedom to haunt their facilities and guide me through so many stages of my research. I would be sorely remiss if I did not thank Steve Noll for his efforts in promoting the University of Florida’s history honors program, Phi Alpha Theta; without which I may never have met Jim Cusick. Most recently I have been humbled by the outpouring of appreciation and friendship from the wonderful people of St. Augustine, Florida, particularly the National Association of Colonial Dames, the ladies of the Women’s Exchange, and my colleagues at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum and the First America Foundation, who have all become cherished advocates of this project.

  • Col. Abraham Buford's Waxhaws Flags Make It to Charleston
    Vol. 3 No. 5 _______ ______________________________ ______ _ _ __May 2006 Col. Abraham Buford’s Waxhaws Flags Make it to Charleston – Finally! This gold silk flag is believed to have been captured by British Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton at the Battle of the Waxhaws [Buford’s Massacre]. Held by the Tarleton family at their seat in England, Sotheby’s New York auction house will auction these three flags, along with one other captured in Connecticut by Tarleton, on June 14, 2006. Col. Abraham Buford was leading 350 Virginia Continental replacement troops to Charles Town when he learned of the surrender of Charles Town as he arrived at Lenud’s Ferry on the Santee River. From the north side of the Santee River, Col. Buford watched helplessly the defeat of Col. Anthony W. White’s cavalry at Lenud’s Ferry by Lt. Col. Tarleton’s dragoons. Buford was ordered to retreat to Hillsborough, NC. Accompanying SC Rebel Gov. John Rutledge and valuable supplies as far as the Pleasant Hill [SC] community, he was run down and defeated at the Battle of the Waxhaws on May 29, 1780 in the Waxhaws section of South Carolina in modern Lancaster County, SC. These flags will be on display in the Old Exchange Building in Charleston, SC from May 26 - 29, 2006 as a part of Charleston’s Spoleto Festival. “…To the last extremity.” Photos of the three flags courtesy of Sotheby’s. i 1 Editor / Publisher’s Notes In This Edition The Revolution in the South has something for everyone: research, Editor’s Notes…………….……………..………2 battlefielding, ballistics, archaeology, monument building, Greene Symposium Photos…………….….…….6 material conservation, biography, tours, re-enactments, books, Calendar of Upcoming Events……..……....……7 preservation budgets, and - best of all - discoveries for the asking.
