When the British began to swarm into South Carolina he raised and drilled a company of his neighbors and friends known as "Marion's Brigade." These men, without uniforms, without tents, and without pay, were among the bravest and best of the Revolutionary soldiers.

Marion, their leader, usually[Pg 218] ate hominy and potatoes, and drank water flavored with a little vinegar.
