That picture would date from the Civil War showing the guns at Fort Moultrie firing on the Union Ships. It was built on the site of Fort Sullivan but Fort Sullivan was constructed of the logs of Palmetto trees, not brick like the fort shown. That is why the Palmetto tree is shown on the SC state flag.

Thanks to george76 for the ping.

'Sfunny, I was going to post a thread about this when I saw your ping. As I have mentioned before, the RevWar in the South has, IMO, gotten short shrift for several reasons, not the least being that the battles The General took part in have traditionally gotten more ink. The only battle in the Southland that he was at was Yorktown. Otherwise, the rest were in the North (e.g., Brooklyn, Harlem Heights, White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth).

The RevWar/Colonial History/Gen. Washington ping list

FreepMail me to get on or off this list.
