Nice find. Always like to report on news about the under-reported RevWar in the South.

In this Feb. 17 photo provided by the LAMAR Institute, archaeologists from the nonprofit LAMAR Institute use metal detectors to search for artifacts from a small Revolutionary War fort in Wilkes County in northeast Georgia. Dan Elliott, the team’s leader, says the group found a dozen musket balls and rifle parts that revealed the location of Carr’s Fort, a small frontier outpost where patriot militiamen drove out British loyalists during a gunbattle in February 1779. Elliott says his team from the nonprofit LAMAR Institute found the location of Carr’s Fort in February after a month of searching and confirmed their discovery with return trips in March and April.

“... took refuge inside the fort when the community was in danger because either the British were coming or the Indians were coming.”

And folks nowadays are scared of a little boy chewing a gun shape out of a Poptart.

Great article, BTW.

Agreed. I'm guilty of it, myself. Most everyone remembers King's Mountain and Cowpens, and the exploits of Francis Marion. But not much beyond that.

Always good to read!

What are you talking about?

Everyone knows the "Period of Colonial Dissatisfaction" started with Occupy Boston and made a grassroots civil rights march down to Virginia where French Peacekeepers helped Washington and Cornwallis reach a mutual understanding of their differences and learn to be inclusive.

In other words there were no southern rednecks involved.
