What a schmuck.

The Battle of Musgrove Mill Historic Site marks the location of a Revolutionary War battle fought in August 1780. Although they were outnumbered two to one, Patriots surprised and routed a group of Tories and British, inflicting heavy losses during the two-day fight. Among the heroes of Musgrove Mill were men who would serve South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri with great distinction as Governors and US Congressmen. Home of the battle heroine, Mary Musgrove, the 300 acre site is now owned by the SC Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism.
