[Loyalist Colonel Robert Gray] described South Carolina as "a piece of patch work, the inhabitants of every settlement, when united in sentiment being in arms for the side they liked best and making continual inroads into one another's settlements." One of those pieces of patch work, the people living on and surrounding Snow's Island, South Carolina, were "united in sentiment" against the British crown. This community of partisans had joined the rebellion as early as 1775 and had stubbornly refused to surrender, even when Charleston fell in 1780. They had supplied food, forage, and blood to the rebellion, and under the leadership of General Francis Marion, had become an obstacle to British control of the southern colonies. This book is their story. Co-Recipient of the 2022 Harry M. Ward Book Prize presented by the American Revolution Round Table of Richmond.
