This is the real person that the movie "The Patriot" was based on.
Also generated some controversy over the characterizations versus the reality.

Yeah, the Limeys were really pissed about how they were portrayed, and tried to drag Marion's name through the mud.
What an a-s kicking Francis Marion gave to the thug General Tarlton. Of course, the Brits made it so easy with those bright red uniforms!

Huh! I thought "The Patriot" was purely fictional. Shoulda known better knowing Mel Gibson is big on true historical dramas (with his little bit of humor thrown in, of course.)
