Description



Book Synopsis



Those who Saved South Carolina

In May 1780, Charlestown surrendered to the British army, and an ominous, dark cloud descended over the spirit of independence in South Carolina. More than five thousand Patriots of the Continental army and militias conceded their arms and declared an oath as true and faithful subjects to His Majesty, the king of Great Britain, or otherwise faced prison or exile. That left the volunteers of the state's militia as the best line of defense for the state. More than two hundred skirmishes and battles in the state provide testament to the passion and dedication with which South Carolinians defended their state. Brian Eleazer details the behind-the-scenes story of how South Carolina survived.

About the Author



Brian Eleazer is a native South Carolinian and a direct descendant of Henry Felder, the protagonist in The South Carolina Militia in the Revolutionary War. Brian is also the direct descendant of another book-referenced Patriot, Johann Stephen Eleazer. For the past fifteen years, Brian has written and added material to Henry Felder's story that was originally recorded for family consumption and expanded it to document the seldom-chronicled story of the South Carolina militia. He shares his research of historical pieces on social media and, on occasion, has posted comments and held debates on national articles about the Revolutionary militia and South Carolina heroes.
