Francis Marion ("The Swamp Fox") commanded the 2…nd South Carolina regiment in the American Revolution. He successfully fought British troops from 1779-1782, much of the time engaging in guerrilla warfare. Gen. Horry served with Marion and wrote a manuscript of his experiences and recollections. Horry provided the manuscript to Parson Weems, who added material.
