The character that Mel Gibson (sighhhhhhhh) played in the Patriot, is a mixture of three very real people.


Benjamin Martin was a composite of Col. Daniel Morgan, Francis Marion, Elijah Clark, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Pickens.

Oh! That's a good Mel picture - I haven't seen it before.

Thanks. I sat here scratching my head and trying to remember and it just wouldn't come. I am so ashamed about not remembering Pickens and Sumter especially because two of the prettiest towns in South Carolina are named for them.

Thanks Carolina
