Citizen Soldier 220 Years Ago

Mural

Front Description

During the American Revolution, the militia like Marion’s Brigade was totally dependent on a man with a horse & a gun who tended his farm and responded to Marion’s call to arms. Marion rides this horse before the battle at Black Mingo. Marion & Oscar summon the farmer-soldier from his crops. The farmer-soldiers cut the supply lines, intimidated the Tories from Charleston to Camden, and thwarted and embarrassed the British from the Pee Dee to the Santee River.
