1t Joined General Greene at Orangeburg.
The rest of the story is history; how
General Greene marched his army across
The country to Eutaw Springs. where
took place one OF the hardest fought
battles Of the Revolution; how The
British, beaten and disorganized, hastily
retreated toward Charleston, and then
followed the faint-hearted CORVALLIS
TO the north, is all part of the story
of a great war, which the daring ride
of the .haid of the Congaree was but
ono Of the many acts OF individual
heroism given women to do.
Lived to Good Old Age.
Emily Geirer was happily married
after the Revolution, and lived to a good
old age. She was buried near Columbia,
the state capital. where she lived. Her
descendants are numerous, and her nanle
is hiohlv honored in her home state. A
handsome tablet to her memory has
been erected in the state house IN
Columbia by the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and other honors
have been paid to her name by PATRIOTIC
and civic bodies.
But the greatest honor came from the
LEGISLATURE Of her native state, which a
few years ago ordered that her etbgy be
placed upon the seal Of the state, along
side that of Gen, William Moultrle, The
old seal, which had been in use since ths
state was founded, had become worn
out. and had to be replaced. and IN the
later ninetIes a new one was made
and. by order Of the state government,
made TO pay a lifelong tribute TO the
memory Of one OF South Carolina S most
patriotic daughters.

In that wonderful series of short
campaigns near the close of the Revolu-
tion, in which General Greene, with
but the ragged remnant of m army, lost
every battle and won each campaign by
A retreat, and which ended with the
driving of the British out of every col
ony of the Southland, there was brave
deed done by a patriotic maid of South
Carolina that is still told in song and
story.
1t came in May. 1881, at the time
General Greene, sorely harassed, was
forced to raise the siege of Fort Ninety
six and beat a retreat before the ad
vancing forces Of Lord Rawdon. His
men, few in number, half clad and
poorly fed, were weary and dispirited.
"We can get across into Virginia, and
escape this way one of his officers
said, eXultantly.
"We are not going across into Vir-
ginia,' the general replied "We are
going TO drive the British out OF South
Carolina or leave our bones here Al.
