On this day in 1778,
British Lt. Col. Fuser takes Sunbury, GA from near-by Colonel's Island, without being detected by the 197 Georgians in Fort Morris. The British occupy the unfinished courthouse and celebrate their accomplishments with a puncheon of rum. During the night the defenders of Fort Morris detect the presence of the British and fire their 18-pounders at their empty campsite at The Battle of Fort Morris.
