Marion's Camp The historical marker at the site reads, "MARION'S CAMP AT SNOW ISLAND. During the American Revolution Gen. Francis Marion (ca. 1732-1795), the most successful of the Patriot partisan leaders, made his camp and headquarters about 1.8 mi. SSW on Snow's Island. The island, named for settlers James and William Snow, is bounded by the Pee Dee River, Lynch's River, and Clark's Creek. Marion, called 'the Swamp Fox,' led a S.C. militia brigade that camped on the island in the winter of 1780-81. In March 1781, with Marion and his men absent, Loyalists under Col. Welborn Doyle raided and destroyed the camp. Marion continued to frustrate British and Loyalist commanders until the end of the war."
