On this day in 1775,
British raiders from Charleston Point, Boston cross the river to Lechmere's Point to steal livestock. Sentries sound the alarm and Col. William Thompson orders an attack. The British make off with 10 cows at the Battle of Lechmere's Point.
And in 1780,
British dragoons and infantry attack Gen. Thomas "Fighting Gamecock" Sumter's camp at night but are repelled and suffer heavy casualties at The Battle of Fishdam Ford.
