    1. Re: Southern-Trails-D Digest V99 #175
    2. I can help with regard to several of the battles listed in the inquiry concerning Revolutionary War battles. The Battle of Kettle Creek, which took place in the southwest corner of Wilkes County Georgia, occurred on February 13, 1779. At that time a force of South Carolina troops and Georgia militia Whigs (Whigs were patriots as opposed to Tories or Loyalists) defeated a larger force of Tories and frustrated an effort by the British to subdue that part of Georgia. However, not long afterwards a Whig force was defeated by the British and Tories at Brier Creek, which is on the Savannah River south of Augusta, Georgia, and most of Georgia remained occupied by the British until the end of the War. Any standard history of Georgia will provide more detail. Also, see Kenneth Coleman's "The American Revolution in Georgia", published by the University of Georgia Press. Art Seder
