The Battle of Kettle Creek, fought here on February 14, 1779, was one of the most important battles of the Revolutionary War in Georgia. At that time, the State was almost completely under British control. Col. Boyd with 600 British sympathizers (Loyalists or Tories) crossed the Savannah River into present day Elbert County en route to the British Army then at Augusta. Patriots Col. Andrew Pickens with 200 S.C. militia and Col. John Dooly and Lt. Col. Elijah Clark with 140 Georgia Militia marched to overtake the Loyalists. On the morning of the 14th, Boyd and his men were camped here at a bend in the then flooded Kettle Creek. Their horses were grazing, sentries were posted, and most of the men were slaughtering cattle or searching for food. The Patriots attempted to attack the Loyalist camp by surprise but failed and a desperate battle raged on both sides of the creek for three hours before the Loyalists finally broke and fled. Col. Boyd and 20 of his men were killed and 22 captured. Pickens and Dooly lost seven killed and 14 or 15 wounded. Pickens later wrote that Kettle Creek “was the severest check and chastisement, the Tories ever received in South Carolina or Georgia

War Woman and the Hero of the Hornet's Nest: Revolution Comes to Georgia's Citizen-Solders
This is a 28 minute historical documentary produced for the Georgia Army National Guard. In this second of nine films, we explore the history of the Georgia National Guard during the American Revolution in their role as citizen-soldiers. In a way, the American Revolution in Georgia became a civil war between loyalist and patriot forces. In this short film, you will learn about two patriots from Georgia's early history: Elijah Clarke and Nancy Hart. We will also examine two deciding battles in Georgia: the battle at Kettle Creek and the Siege of Augusta.
In each film we focus on our citizen-soldiers, then and now, and how they reflect the core values of the Georgia Army National Guard: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage, and Excellence. By the way, since these films will be viewed by Georgia high school students in AP history classes statewide, we are using a young narrator.

Remains of Casulon Plantation in Walton County
Casulon Plantation, Walton/Morgan County, Georgia, built in 1824 by James W. Harris, son of
Revolutionary War hero, John Harris, who fought in the battle of Kettle Creek, Wilkes County, Georgia.
This was a large cotton plantation of 10,000 acres and over 100 slaves. The estate has a long history, including the extravagant wedding of Harris's daughter to the Georgia Governor, James S. Boyton. The house stayed in the family until the 1940's when it was left abandoned. In the 1970's Morgan County Historical Society bought the property and rented it to a group of hippies who gave tours of the home.
In the 1980's the home was restored and used as a bed and breakfast and the sight of civil War re-enactments. In the 1990's Davidson Mining Company wanted the mineral rights to he property but the owners were unwilling to sell. On March 2002, while the owners were 0ut of town, a suspicious fire was set at the back door, completely engulfing the home.

BRAG 2017, Days 0 and 1, Athens to Washington, GA
The 2017 Bicycle Ride Across Georgia began with a gathering of the riders on Saturday, June 3rd, at Clarke Middle School in Athens, Georgia, USA. We started riding on Sunday, June 4th. Our goal was to reach Brunswick, Georgia, by mid-day on the following Saturday, June 10th, with overnight stops in Washington, Thomson, Louisville (for 2 nights), Metter, and Jesup.
For Day 1, we enjoyed riding through part of the University of Georgia campus, and we saw the old railroad trestle that was pictured on one of R.E.M.'s music albums. The hills weren't too bad, and I had fun riding with the BRAG Dream Team later on in the ride.
Rain caused us trouble late in the day.
The Dream Team was treated to some great hospitality in Washington! We ended up in a recreation center gym!
This video is unofficial, but it is real. I recorded it to help myself and others remember the ride for many years.
Please visit the BRAG website for more information about the ride and about the BRAG Dream Team:

The Assault on the South Begins: America Suffers it's Largest Defeats at Savannah and Charleston
In 1779, the British were reeling from the defeat of an entire army at Saratoga. This event had spurred the French to join the war on the American side and now the British would have to act fast if they wished to preserve their chance of victory.
However, all had not turned to despair for the British. They had defeated Washington in three large battles at Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. Though they were forced to give up control of the US capital of Philadephia (due to Congress departing and the cities limited military strategic value), they were now set to embark upon a new campaign.
General Clinton would replace General Howe as the Commander-in-Chief of all British operations in the Americas. He had a new bold plan to win the war. His army would head to the South, which the British believed was ripe with loyalists waiting to join their cause, and begin capturing city after city. Slowly, the army would make its way north, whereupon the main British army in New York would depart their base and move to the Southern armies position. The two armies would meet near Baltimore, destroying all resistance in between them.
The Americans did have France as an ally, but thus far, they had been reluctant to provide any meaningful military support, instead providing only finances and arms. The French had joined the war after hearing of Saratoga, but the news of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and the capture of the US capital had been withheld from them until they joined the war. Not seeking to suffer a major defeat for a war that could not be won, the French, for the most part, now opted to remain on the side lines and see how things progressed.
In 1779, the British would land at Savannah, Georgia, and the campaign to end the war would commence.
