![]() British troops under the cover on darkness attacked and routed a force of Patriot Militia that had been guarding the Stono River plantation of Capt. John Raven Mathews (future governor of South Carolina). The British gave no quarter to the Patriots (a theme that was to be repeated again and again throughout the war in South Carolina) and cut them to ribbons. Lt. Col. Robert Barnwell was left for dead with seventeen bayonet wounds, but he survived and led his men at the Siege of Charlestown the next year. |
