On this day in 1778,
Lt. Col. Fuser demands surrender, but the fort’s commander, Lt. Col. John McIntosh, tells Fuser to “come and take it!”. Fuser thinks twice of it and eventually falls back, after The Battle of Fort Morris.
By January of 1779, the fort's garrison is forced to surrender and Augusta is occupied by Tories from South Carolina without a fight.
