On this day in 1776,
A raiding party of Creek Indians and Georgia militia, painted like Indians, attack 12 British marines. The militia was commanded by Capt. Archibald Bullock. The few British ships nearby fired broadsides at the raiders and then sent a landing party to assist the Marines. The militia opened fire on the landing party, forcing them to move out of range. Once they finally landed, the British party burned 2 houses on the island during The Battle of Tybee Island, GA.
