Description:... The story follows the fictional band of Francis Marion's partisans in the fall of 1780 after the Battle of Camden, as they engage in guerrilla warfare on the Santee River against loyalist and British forces. In his advertisement to the first edition, Simms considered Mellichampe a "Historical romance" that accurately conveyed the career of Marion to the "very letter of the written history."
