The Fighting Gamecock (Bodie, Idella. Heroes and Heroines of the American Revolution.)
In the Spring of 1780 Thomas Sumter galloped from his home in the High Hills to recruit a band of backwoodsmen in the Upcountry of South Carolina. Darting out of secret bases, he and his troops ambushed enemy fords and ferries along the Catawba and Wateree Rivers.‚ ‚ ‚ Fearless, like a fighting gamecock, Sumter led his band of guerrilla fighters against the mighty British forces.
