Summary
This book examines the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding Francis Marion, the Revolutionary War guerrilla fighter known as the Swamp Fox, and his base at Snow's Island in South Carolina. Author Steven D. Smith combines historical records with archaeological findings to separate fact from legend about Marion's operations and the community that supported him. The work critically analyzes the myths that have grown around Marion's story while presenting concrete evidence about how his partisan force actually functioned during the American Revolution.
