Product Details:

Battle of Hobkirk's Hill by Frederick Coffay Yohn depicts a key moment from the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill, which took place on April 25, 1781, near Camden, South Carolina, during the American Revolutionary War. Yohn illustrates the charge of Colonel George Washington's cavalry against the British right flank, a maneuver intended to cover the American retreat led by General Nathanael Greene. The Battle of Hobkirk's Hill saw Greene's smaller American force initially positioned on the hill, only to be driven back by Rawdon’s attack. Despite the British tactical victory, Rawdon abandoned Camden shortly afterward, marking a strategic win for Greene’s broader campaign to reclaim South Carolina. Yohn’s painting, with its focus on the cavalry action, highlights a moment of resilience amid the American withdrawal, rendered in his signature monochromatic style with a striking use of contrast to convey movement and drama.
