    Vol. 3 No. 1.1 _____ ________________________________ _ __ January 2006 th Return to the Cow Pens! 225 Backyard Archaeology – ARCHH Up! 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.

  • Summary of Proposed National Register/Georgia Register Nomination
    SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NATIONAL REGISTER/GEORGIA REGISTER NOMINATION 1. Name: Brier Creek Battlefield 2. Location: Approximately one mile south of Old River Road along Brannen Bridge Road, Sylvania vicinity, Screven County, Georgia 3a. Description: Brier Creek Battlefield is located largely within the state of Georgia’s Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Screven County. The battlefield is delineated in the Georgia Archaeological Site Files as archaeological Site 9SN254. The National Register historic district boundary comprises 2,686 acres of this site: 2,521.3 acres are owned by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources as part of the Tuckahoe WMA, while 164.7 acres are privately owned by Warsaw Pines and Timberland LLC, in a silviculture area known locally as Chisolm Farm. These two tracts contain thirteen contributing resources and one noncontributing resource, all of which are archaeological sites, clustered in the western half of the district. The battlefield is located on a natural peninsula formed by the confluence of Brier Creek and the Savannah River. The topography is relatively low and flat, and vegetation consists of mature stands of planted loblolly pine trees actively managed for silviculture. Anhydric soils in the peninsula are surrounded by wet, swampy cypress forests which border Brier Creek and the Savannah River. A dirt road loops the peninsula, running southeast from Brannen Bridge Road. The property’s integrity of location and association are evidenced by historic documentation along with the recovery of military artifacts during archaeological studies, while the open pine forest, bordering cypress swamps, and the battlefield’s overall rural character effectively portray integrity of setting and feeling.

  • Kettle Creek Battlefield American Revolutionary War National Park Study
    Kettle Creek Battlefield American Revolutionary War National Park Study Remarks by N. Walker Chewning Chairman of the Board of the Kettle Creek Battlefield Association April 2, 2019 Good Afternoon! Why does the Kettle Creek Battlefield in Georgia during the American Revolution in 1779 deserve your attention? First: • As soon as most people hear “Georgia” they think of the Civil War. • That was an important conflict, but today we are focusing on the American Revolution: the war that led to the formation of the United States of America… • …and the War that has resulted in all of us being able to meet together- here- today. Second: • There were several American Revolutionary War engagements in the Colony of Georgia during the War for Independence… • … but the Battle of Kettle Creek was the only engagement the Patriots won in Georgia. Third: • The Kettle Creek Battlefield is ALSO A CEMETERY FOR SOLDIERS who died in that battle. • 18 graves have been located by cadaver dogs and verified by ground penetrating radar, archaeological studies of grave sites, and soil analysis. Fourth: • The Kettle Creek Battlefield is a pristine site: After the battle, the area returned to its agricultural roots. No development has been made to the currently-owned 252.5 acres in over 200 years. Fifth: • In 2019, the State of Georgia, the 13th American Colony, has NO American Revolutionary War National Parks. How did the American War for Independence come to Georgia? • The American Revolution began in Massachusetts in 1775. • Despite numerous battles to subdue the American Revolution in the Northern Colonies, by 1777, the war was at a stalemate.
