Quite the fire-eater, the Americans' counterpart to Ban Tarleton (who I plan to feature here--another fascinating player!). Have you seen the quote attributed to George Washington in response to a rather extreme suggestion Lee had for dealing with deserters? :)Shannon McNearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731942705231600275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-2862515107431185222014-06-27T07:25:21.786-04:002014-06-27T07:25:21.786-04:00Shannon, have you ever seen any biographies of Lig...Shannon, have you ever seen any biographies of Lighthorse Harry Lee? there must be one out there?

I have this theory that places retain something of what happened there ... not entirely supported by Scripture of course, but also not unsupported. They definitely have a somber feel.

Several years ago during an annual Francis Marion Symposium, participants took a bus tour of local battlefields, mostly ones where Marion's troops fought. Most are now covered by Lake Moultrie, but I could sense the poignant history. Thank you for sharing. Loved this post.Susan F.
