Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Services of Francis W. Picken of South Carolina The name of Pickens is historical in South Carolina. For three generations it has held prominent station in the roll of her public men. Andrew Pickens, the elder, was a worthy compeer of the great Whig chieftains of the revolution; and with the "Game Cock" Sumter, and the "Swamp Fox" Marion, composed that famous trio of the partisan leaders of the unpaid gentlemen of Carolina, whose fame will always live in "song and story," in the old Palmetto State, whatever complexion her destiny may assume. His conquest of the Cherokees, the wound in the breast which he received in the thickest of the fight at Eutaw, and his gallant services at the hard-fought battle of the Cowpens, for which Congress voted him a sword, would be kept alive by tradition, even were they not indelibly impressed on the brightest pages of the Southern chapters of the history of that great struggle.
