He was. The basis of the character in The Patriot. Didn't burn people alive in a church, but he was a proponent of making war on the people and not necessarily fighting against armies. If the British had listened to him we still be under the rule of the crown.

A real Carolinian emerges. The slaughter at Waxhaws was reprehensible. Kudos to you, good sir!

He was decisively defeated by BGen Daniel Morgan at the Battle of Cowpens. Unfortunately, he wasn't KIA. According to a family historian, gg grandfather's brother B.D. Garrison fought there at the age of 15. Former state senator Thomas Edmund Garrison (Garrison Livestock Arena namesake) is descended from one of the other brothers.

Think about this. The British almost put him, instead of the Duke of Wellington, in charge of their armies against Napoleon. How do you think that would have changed the history of Europe and the US?

Oral History ... My Grandmother said ...

Regularly my Grandmother would lament about Tarleton, Sherman and Hitler.
Born 1893 about 15 miles west from Winnsboro, she apparently had heard quite a lot about the 1st two. As a youngster in the 1950s and teenager in the 1960s I knew something about the last two, but had it not been for my grandmother I would have not heard about Tarleton until much later in life.
