Additional Description: According to Patriot lore popularized in the 19th century, when Francis Marion received a British emissary at his Snow’s Island camp, he offered the visitor a dinner of roasted sweet potatoes and water. When the British officer returned to Charleston, he refused to fight against an enemy that could so successfully live off the land.
