Marion Crossing the Pedee.

Engraving, 1852, 12 x 15 in., on wove paper, toning to margins, some light surface abrasions in margins, few spots.

A portrait of Revolutionary War officer Brigadier General Francis Marion (ca 1732-1795), the "Swamp Fox," on horseback and wrapped in a mantle as he leads his men on a stealth river crossing. Marion's irregular tactics and use of guerilla warfare, as depicted by Burt and Ranney, made him a formidable and frustrating adversary to the British during their occupation of South Carolina.
