Lecture—The Fourth South Carolina Regiment and the Order Book of Capt. Barnard Elliott
Thursday, May 1 @ 6:30pm-7:30pm EST
Elizabeth Chew and Melina Testin of the South Carolina Historical Society discuss a rare orderly book kept by Capt. Barnard Elliott of the Fourth South Carolina Regiment, which was incorporated into the Continental Army on June 18, 1776—ten days before the Battle of Sullivan’s Island—and disbanded on January 1, 1781. Drawing from the orderly book, which will be on view during the program, this lecture will focus on the Fourth South Carolina Regiment’s service during the Revolution and the significance of the orderly book’s contents, including reports of the Battle of
Sullivan’s Island.
Lecture hosted by the Society of the Cincinnati American Revolution Institute. Registration is free for both in-person attendance at Anderson House in Washington, DC, and via livestream.
