This Day in History: February 10

On this day in 1779, a force of more than 340 men from the South Carolina and Georgia militias, led by Colonel Andrew Pickens of South Carolina with Colonel John Dooly and Lieutenant Colonel Elijah Clarke of Georgia, attack a group of approximately 200 Loyalists under the command of Colonel John Hamilton at Robert Carr’s Fort, in Wilkes County, Georgia.

David,

Why do you keep posting this particular "this day in history" when it isn't February 10th? I love the posting, but I'm just curious about why this one keeps recurring in my feed aggregator.

Syd—No idea what the feed aggregator is doing—I don’t repost anything.
