1858 South Carolina Revolutionary War Cherokee INDIANS Charlestown Ramsay MAP

David Ramsay was an 18^th-century American historian best-known for his surveys of the Revolutionary War. While serving as a member of the South Carolina government, Ramsay was captured by the British – an event which sparked his career as a writer. One of his best works was his “History of South Carolina”.

First published in 1809, this work was one of the best and most authoritative histories of South Carolina’s role in the Revolutionary War offering details on each specific campaign – perhaps most notably, the fall of Charlestown in May of 1780. It also includes descriptions of early Carolinians’ encounters with Indian tribes such as the Creeks and Cherokees.
