I’ve read more than once that the tactic of attacking from the side brush, as depicted in “The Patriot”, is a real re-enactment.

Yep.
In grade school, I did a report on it.
Guerrilla warfare tactics.

I doubt that public schools teach about it these days.

Another proponent of "irregular" warfare at that time was Francis Marion, AKA "The Swamp Fox", in the South Carolina area.

Another Revolutionary war event comes to mind but I can’t recall any names.

A British army advanced south from Canada or upstate NY via a wilderness road and was continuously bushwacked by Indians in alliance with colonial operators.

The brits were bogged down by their huge baggage train and families in tow.
