. Actes du dévoilement du monument de la bataille à Spartanburg, S. C., en commémoration du centenaire de la bataille des Cowens . la bataille. Le lendemain, sur une route mirée, au cours d'une pluie qui a essayé le plus fort de leur mettle et des chiffons en caoutchouc indien, la compagnie a marché vingt-sept miles, et bien en rupture, reposé ce soir-là à 13 km de Greenville. À cet endroit, une balle et à Columbia un din-ner ont été joyeusement et rencontré avec succès, et l'après-midi du 20, ils ont été accueillis de nouveau à Charleston par leurs camarades restants et d'autres compagnies militaires.

Thus in times of peace, and by unpracticed pedestrians, a journey of five hundred miles, one hundred of which weremarched on foot over rough mountain roads, was under-taken and successfully accomplished, and thus was erectedby untaught hands the first memorial in honor of a battlefought on Southern soil.
