My high school mascot was not an animal, but a Colonial: a Continental soldier in the American Army. There were Revolutionary War campgrounds and skirmishes in our school district, about half-way between Philadelphia and Valley Forge. In US history we heard that at some point the war moved South and that was it.
But the War was really won in the South. A lot of that happened in South Carolina. Today my wife and I went to Musgrove Mill, partially to see if it was suitable for a parish group to visit. (She determined that it was.) Being in the Upstate, it felt cooler than back home.
I will post a few appropriate links and think about a poem.
