Revolutionary Hero-Swamp Fox

Between Florence and Charleston, SC (off of Hwy 52) is the burial site of Francis Marion, an American war hero portrayed by Mel Gibson in the movie, "The Patriot". It's a little off the beaten path and if you weren't looking for it, you would have difficulty finding it. Ironically, the memory of Francis Marion, "Swamp Fox", is carried on all over SC, with a univeristy named after him, businesses, and other landmarks use his name and nickname for identification.
