Marion is proverbially the great master of strategy?the wily fox of
the swamps?never to be caught, never to be followed, ?yet always at
hand, with unconjectured promptness, at the moment when he is least
feared and is least to be expected. South Carolina's ?Swamp Fox, ?
Francis Marion, is one of the most celebrated figures of the
American Revolution. Marion's cunning exploits in the Southern
theater of the Revolution earned him national renown and a place in
history as an American hero and master of modern guerilla warfare.
Although dozens of works have been written about Marion's life over
the years, this biography -- written by William Gilmore Simms,
South Carolina's greatest author -- remains the best. First
published in 1844, The Life of Francis Marion was Simms's most
commercially successful work of nonfiction. It offers a treatment
of Marion's life that is unparalleled in its scope and accuracy,
all in Simms's inimitable style.
