Product Details:

General Francis Marion at the Battle of Eutaw Springs by Thomas B. Welch depicts Francis Marion, known as the "Swamp Fox," leading his militia men at the Battle of Eutaw Springs (September 8, 1781), one of the last major battles of the American Revolution in the Southern theater. His contributions were vital to the American forces under General Nathanael Greene in South Carolina. Marion led a brigade of South Carolina militia, which was part of the advance line of Greene’s forces. His men, along with other militia units, opened the battle by engaging the British pickets. Marion’s militia, alongside Brigadier General Andrew Pickens' troops, initially clashed with the British under Colonel Alexander Stewart. The militia fought well but eventually fell back as planned, allowing Greene’s Continental Army regulars to move forward and continue the attack. Though the battle ended with neither side claiming a decisive victory, it weakened British control in South Carolina. The British forces at Eutaw Springs suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat to Charleston, effectively losing their hold on the state. Marion continued leading guerrilla operations against British outposts until the war’s end.
