Marion was a singular individual. Smart, courageous, and a thorn in the Brit's side.

WIfe and I visited Brattonsville a couple of weeks ago. It's one of the areas "The Patriot" was filmed. Great place to visit if you are a Rev. war buff. Battle of Hucks Defeat was fought on the same property.
More info on Brattonsville and other York County museums here...
