On this day in 1779,
Before leaving Carr's Fort for South Carolina, Cols. Pickens and Dooly call for reinforcements under Capt. Anderson to patrol the Savannah. Col. Boyd, surprised by the rebel force, rallies his men who fight on for over an hour before finally being defeated. Boyd would die that evening from wounds after The Battle of Cherokee Ford, SC.
