    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.

  • Musgrove Mill, South Carolina by Dan Woodruff
    Ranger James, Park Staff, Distinguished Guests, and Compatriots: We gather to remember an event that occurred on August 19, 1780 and originated at the Rocky Ford on Enoree River. I would, like to reflect on what was happening in this area just before the events here, on that date. Savannah fell on 29 December 1778 and the British controlled Georgia. 1780 marched in as the darkest period for the Patriots in the Revolutionary War. From the mountains to the seaboard, a gloom seemed to rest on the country. For five years the colonies had been battling for freedom against fearful odds. The Country was overrun. Its treasury was empty. Its soldiers were hungry, unpaid, and in need of clothing. Charleston fell on 12 May 1780. Two months later, in July, British Major, Patrick Ferguson arrived in the Ninety-Six District. His command consisted of one hundred choice regulars. The Loyalists in the area flocked to his command with more than a thousand soon joining him. The British spread its forces occupying the strategic areas of Georgia and South Carolina. After the fall of Charleston, the British made what turned out to be several strategic errors igniting the ire of the Freedom Seeking Scots-Irish as well as those of French-Huguenot heritage. Of the later, Francis Marion remained a thorn for the British until their departure from the state. Another Huguenot, Thomas Sumter, revoked his pardon after his home was burned and gathered Patriots to harass the British in the Waxhaw region. Until Ferguson made his appearance in the Ninety-Six District, James Williams remained active in the patriot cause throughout the district.
