This book tells the extraordinary story of Brigadier General Francis Marion, a celebrated partisan officer who fought against the British and loyalists in the Revolutionary War. The author, P. Horry, served alongside Marion as his aide-de-camp, and this book is based on his recollections of the war. The book is full of action and adventure, as Marion and his men carry out daring raids and ambushes against the British. But it is also a story of courage and resilience, as Marion and his men fight for what they believe in, even when the odds are stacked against them. Horry's writing is vivid and engaging, and he brings the events of the Revolutionary War to life. The book is also a valuable historical document, providing insights into the strategy and tactics of partisan warfare. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the Revolutionary War, military history or American history. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of courage, resilience, and the fight for freedom.

Sold as is for the book could use a binder's attention. Popular 19th century account of South Carolina Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion which was first published in 1809 but, with Weems' reputation as a mythopoeist, should be perused with some skepticism and, in that regard, bibliographer Wright Howes (U.S.IANA #H650) commented "General Horry furnished the facts, Parson Weems the rhetoric; so much of it that Horry became indignant and disclaimed all connection with the book.".

251pp. plus six plates. 12mo. Contemporary calf, spine gilt, leather label. Modern bookplate on rear pastedown, 19th-century armorial bookplate on front pastedown. Very light scattered foxing, toning throughout. Good. Self-styled seventh edition. General Francis Marion, "The Swamp Fox," was one of the leading American commanders in the Revolution in the South. His brillant operations in the Carolinas kept thousands of British troops tied down and contributed immensely to ultimate American victory. Plain and unassuming, he was widely beloved by his contemporaries, and after his death this book began the process of his ascent to legend. Horry, his second-in-command for part of the war, supplied many of the facts, although he was allegedly disgusted by Weems' flowery passages and disclaimed any connection with the book. What he disliked, others embraced, and the book went through many editions. This edition not in Howes or any other standard sources. This copy with the ownership signature and bookplate of J.K. Paulding on titlepage and front pastedown. Paulding was a writer and U.S. Secretary of the Navy from 1838-1841. HOWES H650.
