AN OBSCURE BATTLE

AN ObCL ItE EA Ii
April rs
TODAY is the anniversary Of an
l. important but little known bat
tie of the American revolution
the battle OF GIobsirks Hill South
Carolina, fought ON April 25, 1881.
Technically, it resulted in q
British victory, since the handful Of
Americans. under Nathaniel Greene,
temporarily retrcated. But as they
had done so often before, they re-
treated in such a way IS to place
the British in q worse position than
they had been before their victory
Familiarity with the countryside, OF
course, enabled them to DO this.
Furthermore, Lord RaWdon, under
whom the British fought the battle,
found that his lines Of communica-
ton had been cat by two wings OF
Greene's army, and was forced 10
retreat Immediately from his newly
gained position
The battle OF Hobkirk's Hill pre-
coded the surrender Of General
CORVALLIS at Yorktown, and thc
end Of the revolution by Just six
months.
It undoubtedly fastened that sur
render, because Rawdons forced re-
treat following it added a final blow
to a series Of harassing Incidents
the British had met during their
North Carolina campaign.
