🇺🇸 REMEMBER THE LADIES: BACKCOUNTRY EDITION 🇺🇸
Join the Hobkirk Hill Chapter, NSDAR, and the Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson Chapter, NSDAR, for a special morning celebrating the real women, real stories, and lasting legacy of the women of the American Revolution.
Too often, the story of the Revolution is told through the battles and the men who fought them. But behind the armies, on the plantations and farms, in homes and communities, women endured hardship, supported the cause, supplied armies, protected families, and made sacrifices that helped shape the new nation.
Remember the Ladies: Backcountry Edition will bring several of these remarkable women and their stories to life through featured presentations:
🌿 Bettise Davidson — The Widow Jenkins
🌿 Paul Wood — Dicey Langston
🌿 Aliene Humphries — What Women Wore
🌿 Robert Ryals, Liz Canada & Hayden Medley — The Relentless Sarah McCalla
🌿 Michael Covington — “Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier” — an old Irish song telling the story of a wife and the duties and sacrifices she carried at home
🌿 Laura Ledford — Elizabeth Hutchinson Jackson
📅 Saturday, November 21, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
📍 Liberty Hall — Revolutionary War Visitor Center
Come hear the stories of women whose courage, resilience, work, and sacrifice were an essential part of the American Revolution—particularly here in the South Carolina Backcountry.

Join us Saturday, September 26, for the Catawba and Cherokee American Revolution Symposium at USC Lancaster as Shawn R. Jones and Robert C. L. Holmes present:
“The Old Indian Trails: Indigenous Landscape Management and Revolution in the Carolina Backcountry”
For centuries, Catawba and Cherokee landscape management techniques shaped the Carolina backcountry to their needs. When the Revolution began, this managed landscape was still so intact that both Patriot and Loyalist forces took full advantage of these historic roads and trails as they planned their campaigns. Exciting new historical and archaeological research shows that even though the Catawba and Cherokee people were not physically present for the Kings Mountain Campaign in 1780, their managed landscape directly and decisively influenced the course of the war.
