Francis Marion: The Making of the "Swamp Fox"
Presented by Charles B. Baxley, South Carolina Attorney and Historian
Charles Baxley will talk about South Carolina and the Revolutionary War, a critical period in our state and nation during the summer and fall of 1780. Things looked so bleak that Francis Marion transformed himself from a strict disciplinarian Continental officer into a successful partisan warrior to fight the British and the Tories.

He is currently working with the South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust to map 20 Revolutionary War battlefields in the Carolinas, plan new battlefield parks at Camden and Moncks Corner and the Liberty Trail. He is the Chairman of the new South Carolina Revolutionary War 250th Anniversary Commission.
