Nope, not a year but the name of a town in SC and the siege is one of the battles of the American Revolutionary War. In celebration of the 250th I will post periodically from visits I have made to Revolutionary War sites. This one is in the back country of SC and occurred in 1781. The British had been driven from SC except for Charleston and this fort in the western part of the state. Gen Greene laid siege but was unsuccessful as a relief force of 2000 men arrived from Charleston and he was forced to abandon the siege. Want to know more?

Some of a series of ditches dug by the American forces to get closer to the fort
Tower was built to fire down into the fort and protect the sappers.
