Santee Indian Mound/ Fort Watson

    National Register of Historic Places – 1969    Historical evidence used for the “Archeology at Scott’s Lake, 1973” and Wanton, 1939, support the ancient Indian Province of Cofitachiqui being located at the upper part of the Santee River.  Records and maps from 1540’s show that Cofitachiqui was at Scott’s Lake, (now Lake Marion, or near Pine Island Unit of Santee NW refuge).    Santee Indian Mound was constructed as a ceremonial  and burial mound and there were many mounds in this area.  These mounds served as sub-structure platforms for ceremonies almost 800 years ago.   The British built the fort on the mound because of its strategic location. The British used it during the Revolution to control movement on the Santee River as well as the main road between Charleston and Camden.   In the third and final battle of Fort Watson , this was the first post in South Carolina taken from the British .  On April 15, 1871, General Francis Marion and Lt. Col. Henry “Lighthouse Harry” Lee encircled the fort and after 8 days of futile small arms fire, Major Hezekiah Maham  constructed a pine log tower of sufficient height to overlook the defender’s stockade.  On April 23, 1781, the Americans mounted an attack from the tower and from the  ground which lasted only a short time.  Lt. McCoy surrendered the fort, its garrison and supplies to General Marion, the “Swamp Fox”. 

  Santee Indian Mound is included as part of the Santee National Wildlife Refuge .  A current Santee Indian Chief visited this site many times in 2000-2002.  (Located west of  I-95 , Exit 102, US 301/15 to County Road 803, 9 miles SW of Summerton 33.539°  N  80.438° W)

Terry Smith constructs a new interpretation of Fort Watson, March 2009.

    Replacing 3rd mural, New total: 23 mural panels: Siege of Fort Watson Murals: Colonel Lee and Lee’s Legion joined General Marion and Marion’s Brigade on the Santee River. They elected to capture British-held Fort Watson to get supplies. General Thomas Sumter had attacked Fort Watson unsuccessfully on February 28, 1781. Marion’s men laid siege to Fort Watson for many days starting April 16, 1781. While waiting for a cannon to arrive, Major Maham suggested building a tower to have sharpshooters pick off the Redcoats inside the fort. The Patriots gathered saplings for several days and constructed the tower overnight. The use of the tower led to the capture of Fort Watson on April 23rd, 1781, and was the final Battle of Fort Watson. These 11′ to 17′ x 77′ murals are donated by the Swamp Fox Murals Trail Society, 2009, to bring alive Revolutionary War history on Summerton’s Main Street on Summerton Hardware.

Battle of Tearcoat Swamp Original Mural

In the American Revolution, October 25, 1780, General Marion learned Colonel Tynes with a party of over ninety drew supplies and new muskets at Camden. Tynes was camped at the edge of Tearcoat Swamp between the forks of the Black River. Marion called a muster and with 150 men moved to Kingstree. He then turned west and moved swiftly toward Tearcoat. After scouting the encampment Marion split his force into three companies and attacked at midnight. The attackers killed six, wounded fourteen and captured twenty-three men. They also captured the food, baggage, ammunition, eighty new muskets and horses with saddles. However, Tynes escaped, but was captured a few days later in the High Hills.

Swamp Fox at Ox Swamp Mural

This Swamp Fox Mural in Manning, completed December 2001, is the 1st

In the American Revolution, Nov. 8, 1780, Gen. Francis Marion and his militia lured British Col. Tarleton and his Green Dragoons about 26 miles from Jacks Creek through the swamps (Sammy and Pocotaligo) to Ox Swamp. After spending 6 hours in this pursuit, Tarleton gave up the chase saying “as for the old fox (Marion), the devil himself could not catch him.” Thus, Gen. Marion became known as the “Swamp Fox”.

Battle of Wyboo Swamp

Largest murals in Manning, April 2006, are the 12th – 14th. As part of the Bridges Campaign: Battle of Wyboo Swamp (Tuesday, March 6, 1781)

During the American Revolution, the Bridges Campaign or Watson Chase started March 6, 1781. Colonel Watson and British troops from Fort Watson were sent to crush General Marion. Marion’s Militia challenged them on the 1/4 mile causeway over Wyboo Swamp. The cavalry clashed several times on the causeway. When the cannon arrived Marion withdrew to a position near the John Cantey Plantation. One of Marion’s men, Gavin James, personally killed three Tory dragoons on the causeway. He shot one and then bayoneted two from his horse.

"The Swamp Fox Song"

My name is Francis Marion. I fought the British redcoats in ’76,  Hiding in the Carolina swamps by day & surprising them with swift strikes at night.  They called me a tricky swamp fox, so a swamp fox I became.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox  Tail on his hat. Nobody knows Where the Swamp Fox at.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox  Hiding in the glen. He runs away to fight again.  I fire a gun, the birds take wing.  Their startled cry’s a signal clear.  My men march forth to fight the King.  And leave behind their loved ones dear.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Tail on his hat. Nobody knows Where the Swamp Fox at.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Hiding in the glen. He runs away to fight again.  We had no lead, we had no powder.  Always fought with an empty gun.  Only made us shout the louder.  We are the men of Marion.  We had no cornpone, had no honey,  all we had was continental money.  Couldn’t buy nothing worth beans in a pot  Roastin’ ears & possum was all we ever got.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Tail on his hat. Nobody knows Where the Swamp Fox at.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Hiding in the glen. He runs away to fight again.  We had no blankets, had no beds.  Had no roof above our heads.  We get no shelter when it rains.  All we got was Yankee brains.  The Redcoats rise in a foreign land  Their hearts are far across the sea,  They never try to understand  We fight for home & liberty.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Tail on his hat. Nobody knows Where the Swamp Fox at.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Hiding in the glen. He runs away to fight again.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Tail on his hat. Nobody knows Where the Swamp Fox at.  Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox,  Hiding in the glen. He runs away to fight again.

Home in the Backcountry, 1780 Mural

During the American Revolution, life at home in the backcountry was difficult for all. Families had to be self-sufficient. The children carried water and carded cotton for the spinning wheel, helped tend the kitchen garden, cared for animals, milked cows, made butter and soap. The women protected and managed the home when the men & boys were away fighting with Marion’s Brigade. (14′ x 60′ mural)

Hello! It's your turn to operate the scenic railway. The local town cats would love to join you for the ride too, if that's ok.

Short Trip is the first instalment in a collection of interactive illustrations created for the web. It has been created as a study into capturing the essence of graphite on paper within a digital context, and to learn more about web-based graphics technologies. Short Trip will run on most devices supporting WebGL, including mobile devices.

The original release was made at   alexanderperrin.com.au/paper/shorttrip

Due to the current limitations of both WebGL technologies and my understanding of them, there’s bound to be issues found here and there. If you’ve found something particularly odd and have a spare few minutes it would be greatly appreciated if you tell me about it either via itch or  here . At the moment there’s a few known issues particularly relating to Android support. I hope that these will improve with time.

Regardless, I hope that you enjoy your journey.

This is so beautiful and relaxing. Thank You for this amazing short game.

This is wonderful, thank you for making this

wow so cute, i would be ok to pay this game with a download windows link :)

Beautiful. And for free? Nice

the illustration is breathtaking!!! the textures and details omgg

That was actually pretty fantastic.

this is one of the most beautiful games ive ever experienced and ive been on the internet for a while. the artwork is so intricate and jaw-droppingly BEAUTIFUL. i know ive used the word beautiful a lot but i cant emphasize it enough. outstanding work!! i hope you are very proud of this masterpiece <33

Thank you :) I needed this today and I’m feeling proud now!!

The illustration style is beautiful & the animation for the tram is really fluid! The chirping of the birds and the sfx for the tram made it even more life-like. Overall, great job :)

Just beautiful, I want more games like this one

WOW, a Masterpiece

So simple, so calm, so beautiful. <3

I left a review so hopefully you can read the rest of my enjoyment on there (I hope creators can see reviews!!) but I also wanted to leave a comment after I saw you were based in Melbourne! I also live in melbourne and the environment in this game seemed distinctly not Australian (except maybe for Tasmania) but still managed to remind me of pieces of places I'd been and loved dearly. So I wanted to know, is the landscape and/or architecture in this illustration inspired by any places you've been? Because I would love to go there.

Hello! I'm not sure where I would be able to find the review. Where did you post it? I'd love to have a look.

Yes! I've been in Melbourne for my whole life now :) That's super interesting to hear that it's reminded you of locations around Aus. You're quite right in that for whatever reason Australian landscapes are only a minor influence within Short Trip. 

Architecture wise, the game combines a mash-up of many style influences, ranging from traditional English cottages to Norwegian stave churches. I would say that the build materials take a higher priority when describing the styles though– I tend to idealise natural construction materials (slate, bluestone, dark hardwoods) and take great joy in their ornate combination and assembly! When referencing landscapes, I feel it would be fair to say that I'm greatly influenced by the alpine regions of Victoria and the Bogong High Plains in summer. I love the rough ground above the tree line!

I have to mention the Hakone Mountain Railway in Japan, which was one of the key influences when making this. It's a beautiful switchback railway near Fuji that weaves up through endless tunnels, forests, bridges and little towns. I couldn't recommend visiting this place enough :)

Thanks again!

Beautiful. I love your work and your spirit as creator.

Thanks so much. It's a pleasure to create for you!

Really beautiful. The artwork is gorgeous, from the buildings to the trees, and every other pieces drawn to create this breathtaking landscape. The cat people are adorable, and the sound design is phenomenal; it's so relaxing and calming, and really brings you that sense of going on a train journey through a quaint village in the countryside. Very sweet, absolutely adored this!

Thank you :) This means a lot to hear!

I can't explain why I got so moved by this... Thanks.

This makes me so happy! Thank you :)

Wonderful, loved the atmosphere

I'm very pleased you enjoyed it! Thank you :)

Quite simply, beautiful.

Completely amazing! <3

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Take care.

I loved this! This was so beautiful! 

AWESOME. Skill power, your graphyc technique is amazing! 

Thank you! I appreciate it very much

This game is fantastic!!! I really like it <3

I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

Review and thinkpiece in Russian

Really cool game! Loved the art and the music! Excited to see what comes next :D 

Whao, I love this art style, Are you draw with pencil then scan them?

Oh my 147 days ago! I'm sorry I obviously don't come around to Itch all that often. Yes the world is drawn in pencil first, then scanned into Photoshop where it's trimmed and laid out in the scene.

Thanks so much!

Fantastic work! An incredible minimalist game on a fabulous illustration plenty of little details. Thanks a lot for create this and for share with us free!

I took the liberty of making your gem of a tram journey video into a 7 hour screensaverl.

wobblyfootgamer

I had a play of "Short Trip" and I have to say that I thought it was exquisite. An amazing little piece so well produced and I was so mesmerized I spent 35 minutes playing it. I loved the little animations and noticed all the animations in the background. This is another example of some of the great work being released by developers and I kinda think that this could be either blown into a full game or expanded to included other titles  such as Beatrix Potter or Winnie the Pooh. I did a walkthrough and I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to use it how you feel and there is another video coming but I won't tell you what is yet.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this but the video has had nearly 1k of views in the last 7 days.

*We want more*We want more* We want more*We want more*We want more*We want more*We want more*We want more*We want more* lol

Thank you so much for both the kind words and the lovely videos. I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I would most love to extend this game into something more, and I think I will be doing so in the future when time permits.

Thanks again for everything!

Thanks Alexander,

I look forward to any updates. Take Care.

Whoa ! Just perfect, I love the landscape, the sound, it was a great experience ! Thanks

The illustrations were wonderful! I really loved the details placed into it as well, like how the bar on the cable would move up and down if the train were to go up or down a hill. The sounds were really soothing as well. I also found the "walk" animation to be super cute.

I like the illustrations and the sound-effects was like a triple chocolate glaze over a chocolate glazed, chocolate filled, chocolate covered, chocolate wrapped, with a chocolate cherry on top chocolate cake-volcano with chocolate fondue layers, that erupts chocolate. Overall i give it a 4/5 for gameplay experience.

Wow this is really nice!  Awesome work!  The attention to detail is impressive -things like making the arm on top of the train car extend/retract for hills were an unexpected surprise :D

Beautiful! The sound effects really make it feel alive! One thing I did note, controls wise (on PC), is that there is no delay between bell rings. If you hold space the bell sound plays as quickly as the repeat rate is set on the computer.

Very nicely done! Illustrations were beautiful (loved when trees and other pieces of scenery partially obscured the tram) and it was calming overall. Hope to see more.

Ever feel the rush of wanting to explore a new destination, but time isn’t on your side? Don’t fret! Even the shortest trips can be filled with unforgettable experiences and adventures. The trick lies in planning smartly and prioritizing your interests. So, let’s dive in and unravel the secrets to making the most of your short trip.

• Plan ahead and prioritize your interests
• Embrace the trend of Microcations
• Make use of local insights and experiences
• Stay flexible and open to unexpected adventures
• Travel at off-peak hours and use efficient transport modes

Planning is Key

When time is scarce, having a clear plan can be your best friend. Make a list of top things you want to see or do, and plan your itinerary around them. But remember to keep it flexible; after all, the best travel stories often come from unexpected detours!

Embrace the Trend of Microcations

Microcations, or vacations lasting less than five days, are gaining popularity among millennials and Gen Z travelers. These bite-sized adventures allow you to explore new places without having to take much time off. So pack your bags , embrace the trend, and let the adventure begin!

Make Use of Local Insights

Getting tips from locals can enhance your trip significantly. They know the best places to eat, interesting sights off the beaten path, and can help you avoid tourist traps. So strike up a conversation with locals and see what hidden gems you can discover.

Travel Smart

Choosing the right mode of transport can save you precious time. Look for direct flights, travel at off-peak hours to avoid traffic, and consider using public transport or bikes to explore the city.

Stay Open to Adventures

Remember that every short trip is an adventure waiting to unfold. As the award-winning actress and seasoned traveler Shirley MacLaine once said, “The more I traveled, the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” So be brave, be curious, and let the magic of travel transform strangers into friends.

Start Your Day Early

Maximizing your day means taking advantage of early morning hours. The benefits are two-fold: popular attractions are usually less crowded and you have more daylight hours for exploration. Early starts might require a good coffee, but the memories you create will be worth the effort.

Blend In With The Locals

Beyond tourist sights, local life provides a vibrant cultural tapestry that adds depth to your travel experiences. Attend a local market, try the regional cuisine, or participate in local traditions to make your short trip memorable. Immersing yourself in local life is the difference between observing a culture and living it.

Utilize Technology

Travel apps and technology can be a lifesaver on short trips. Use GPS for easy navigation, travel apps for public transport schedules, online reviews to choose restaurants, and digital museum guides for self-guided tours. Technology not only simplifies travel but also helps in discovering lesser-known attractions.

Travel Light

With a short trip, the last thing you want is to be burdened by heavy luggage. Carry only essentials, consider versatile clothing, and remember that less is more when it comes to packing. Travelling light allows for more mobility and less stress about belongings.

Even the shortest trip can be filled with unforgettable experiences. It’s all about smart planning, embracing new trends, taking local insights, and being open to adventures. So next time you’re planning a short trip, keep these tips in mind and get ready to make the most of every moment!

What is a Microcation?

A Microcation is a short getaway or a vacation lasting less than five days. It’s becoming a popular trend among young travelers who want to explore new places without taking a lot of time off.

How can I make the most of a short trip?

You can make the most of a short trip by planning ahead, prioritizing your interests, making use of local insights, staying flexible, and traveling smart.

Why are Microcations becoming popular?

Microcations are gaining popularity as they allow people to explore new places and have new experiences without the need for extensive time off work or home responsibilities.

I s it worth going to tourist attractions on a short trip?

Definitely! Visiting key attractions gives a snapshot of the place’s history and culture. However, prioritize based on your interests to avoid wasting time on attractions that don’t captivate you.

How can I immerse myself in local culture on a short trip?

Try the local food, engage with the local people, learn about their traditions and participate in them. Visit local markets or attend local events, and you’ll be living the local culture in no time.

Kevin, your missive hit home for me! As a screenplay writer laboring at cafes like the firestarter roasters, home-industry appearances knocked insights left and right in my journey too. Did you ever feel like creativity is frisk-alert around urban art deco? ✔️ from me! Battleship synergy for brainstorming, anyone? Curious though –– ever tried redesigning chaos, vernacular twists, maybe more old typewriter vibes into the pattern narrations? Switch of peripherals? Bangarang to provincial tropes!
