BATTLE OF HOBKIRK'S HILL

The Battle of Hobkirk's Hill was an engagement of the American War of Independence that occurred on April the 25th, 1781. Greene, being unable to assault or invest Camden, South Carolina, took his position ten miles north at Hobkirk's Hill. Here Lord Rawdon attacked him. Greene had nearly won when victory slipped from his grasp. The famous Maryland brigade fell into disorder through misunderstanding of orders and deranged Greene's plan. He was driven from his post and forced to retire.
