A marvelous article sir, though I had known of the Swamp Fox from my own personal interests in history, there were a host of details I was unware of which your article expressed with poetic succinctness. It delivers two very crucial points to patriots, to fight tyranny means enduring incredible hardship, and the power of having principles even an enemy will come to admire and seek shelter in.

As I said in a previous post, I just returned from researching ancestors on Cape Cod. I was astounded by the incredible hardships the Patriots as well as the entire communities endured. We always think they Declared Independence, fought a few battles and won. We can't even begin to fathom the depths and years of sacrifices by them and their families, to make us a free, independent country.

EXCELLENT ESSAY/CHAPTER and looking forward to see if you can match it.

"The Patriot" has long been one of my favorite movies. Your in-depth "explanation" has moved that movie much higher on my list of favorites.

Beautifully written!! Could not stop reading it. Even though a hellacious thunderstorm was raging outside my window. Thank God the electric remained on. (chuckles) Normally during a storm I would retreat from my computer. But, alas, I was not shaken. Looking forward to more. Thank you for your brilliant eloquence and intelligence.

Awesome article! Interesting as we actually lived in Moncks Corner, SC and knew of the exploits of the “Swamp Fox”. He is legendary in South Carolina. Had no idea he was the inspiration for The Patriot.

A well researched and written article about one of our great ancestors. The way things seem to be headed, a lot more study of Francis Marion and his tactics is going to be essential for our survival.

Thanks for reawakening old memories of a book read decades ago when in the 5th Grade, "Francis Marion, The Swamp Fox."

In this 5GW we all need to be familiar with tactics that befuddle and confuse the enemy and The Swamp Fox is a great place to begin that education.

God Bless America!

Very interesting read.

Btw, people from Poland are "Poles". The term "Pollack" is considered denigrating, and is found offensive by both Poles and Polish-Americans.

Excellent... We need a "1776 Channel" to dramatize heroes like Marion.

I do approve their potential LOGO !

Thank you for this - you made it very interesting to read and heck yes, it is a great topic. I always liked that Movie, it stirs the emotions, and this background that it is based on real events, real characters is truly all the more inspiring!

GoPH,

I found this a Very Interesting Piece. I am short on historical details of many of the tremendous Tactical Ones, who won the War for US, through grit, toughness, & enlightened war maneuvering.

Thank You.
