Historical Background Notes on Francis Marion As a key figure in the American Revolution, General
Francis Marion, best known as the “Swamp Fox,” surprise attacked the British forces in South Carolina, destroying communication and supply lines. Born in 1732 at Goatfield Plantation in St. John’s Parish, Berkley, he grew up in the swampland of South Carolina. This knowledge of the land would become a great benefit to him as the leader of a militia who hid in the swamps and lived off of the land.
Marion’s fighting career began when he fought the Cherokee in the Blue Ridge region of the state. He and his men fought in the famous battle of Sullivan’s Island or “The Battle of Fort Moultrie” as it became named for Colonel William Moultrie.

Due to a broken ankle, he left Charleston shortly before it fell into the hands of the British. Back home near the Santee River, Marion led a small militia made up mostly of farmers. There they would hide in the swamps of the Pee Dee during the day, surprise attack the British as they traveled between Charleston and Camden which were both conquered by the British, and retreated back to the swamps. The terrain of the swamps was unfamiliar to the British troops, thus giving Marion and his men an advantage. As Marion’s brigade attacked, they would steal goods and arms from the British and free American prisoners. It was at this time that British general Tarleton, is credited for giving Marion his nickname, Swamp Fox. After chasing Marion and his men for some twenty-six miles and arriving at Ox Swamp, he stopped and said “Come boys! Let’s go back and we will catch the Gamecock. But as for this d—d swamp fox, the Devil himself could not catch him!”
