October 15, 2025 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
$7.00
Speaker: Peggy Pickett
During the American Revolution, Brigadier General Francis Marion—nicknamed the “Swamp Fox”—was known for his daring guerrilla tactics, leading surprise attacks that frustrated British forces in South Carolina. But in the summer of 1780, when the British set a trap for Marion, it was Dorothy Sinkler Richardson who saved him by outwitting the enemy.
