Carolina Guard Independence Jasper Muskets Newton Prisoners Rescue Rescuing Resting Revolutionary Sergeants Spring Stacked
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a pivotal moment during the American Revolutionary War, as Sergeants Newton and Jasper of the Marion's Brigade execute a daring rescue of American prisoners in South Carolina, 1779. The British guard, momentarily distracted while resting near a spring and stacking their muskets, provide the perfect opportunity for the brave sergeants to strike. The prisoners, their faces etched with relief and gratitude, are seen emerging from the undergrowth, as the soldiers spring into action. The spring, a vital source of water in the rugged terrain, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, contrasting sharply with the intensity of the military action. The Marion's Brigade, also known as the 'Swamp Foxes,' were renowned for their guerrilla tactics and successful raids against the British. This print, created in 1876, serves as a testament to their bravery and the indomitable spirit of the American Revolutionaries in their quest for independence.
