'Battle of Tearcoat' newest Swamp Fox mural

Posted

The Swamp Fox Murals Trail Society has a new mural in Turbeville. Terry Smith began work on "The Battle of Tearcoat" earlier this month, and his progress is shown in the gallery below. The mural itself is on the west side of the Turbeville Dollar General, and replaces the original Tearcoat mural. The Battle of Tearcoat, which took place Oct. 25, 1780, was unique for the Revolutionary War in that it happened in the middle of the night.
