EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1844 takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. In June 1761, Lieutenant Francis Marion fearlessly leads an advance guard of South Carolina militia against Cherokee positions near the village of Etchoee. The intensity of this battle is palpable as we witness Marion's unwavering determination to protect his colony. The image transports us deep into a dense forest where brave soldiers charge forward amidst towering trees. With their muskets at hand, these militiamen embody resilience and courage as they face off against skilled Cherokee warriors. Their loyalty to their state shines through as they fight valiantly for their homeland. Lieutenant Francis Marion himself stands out amongst his men, exuding leadership and bravery. Known later as "the Swamp Fox" he would become one of America's most revered Revolutionary War heroes. This print captures him at the outset of his legendary military career, showcasing his strategic prowess even before he gained national recognition. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the sacrifices made by these colonists but also of the complex relationships between European settlers and Native American tribes during this tumultuous period in our nation's past. This remarkable artwork serves as a poignant reminder that history is shaped by individuals like Lieutenant Francis Marion
