 aka Vanderhorst Plantation. Skirmish: Capt. Capers vs. Capt. March. Brig. Gen. Francis Marion continued to send out patrols to check on British intentions as the war wound down. Capt. George Sinclair Capers of Col. Hezekiah Maham's cavalry was sent with twelve troopers and they found 26 Black Dragoons led by two black officers - Capt. March and Lt. Mingo. Capt. Capers charged the enemy and defeated them, freeing three of his neighbors who were in handcuffs as prisoners. Two of his men were wounded. Capt. March may have been wounded in the knee. This engagment is most likely the same one identified for August 29th as Caper's Scout. |
