During this time he alone held eastern South Carolina from the British, then helped Henry Lee capture the British posts along the Santee, and finally commanded a corps in the army with which Nathaniel Greene drove the British from South Carolina...." - Acknowledgements from Swamp Fox: The Life And Campaigns Of General…
