Did you know that more battles and skirmishes were fought in South Carolina over the course of the Revolutionary War than in any other of the thirteen colonies? Today, a memorial marker near present-day Salley highlights one such event.

The Battle of John Town Memorial honors a little-known conflict near Dean’s Swamp and is located at the intersection of Salley and Voyager Roads. In May of 1782, British prisoners of war and Loyalists were detained in two "bullpens" at a camp nearby. The British were determined to free them.

Loyalist troops sent by the infamous William "Bloody Bill" Cunningham clashed with a detachment of Brig. Gen. Andrew Pickens’ militia, led by Captains William Butler and Michael Watson. Though the Patriots were outnumbered two-to-one, the result of the battle was an American victory.

Plan your next journey through Thoroughbred Country and uncover the people, places and stories that helped shape South Carolina and a new nation.
