Today in Georgia History:
February 11, 1779 A skirmish between Georgia and South Carolina Loyalists and Patriots took place near Vann's Creek, in current Elbert County, Georgia. The Loyalist forces numbered some 600-900 men, while the Patriots had only 120, but the terrain offered poor visibility - likely neither side knew the other's numbers. The Patriots retreated after having sixteen casualties, with eighteen captured. The Loyalists lost approximately one hundred men.
