Historic Note: The American Revolutionary War Battle at Stono Ferry took place on June 20, 1779, along the Stono River. A part of the battle took place where the 12th, 13th, and 14th holes are presently located. One of the military fortifications (redoubt) from the battle is located on the right side of the 12th fairway. The commanding officer for the British and Hessian forces was General Maitland, while General Moultrie led the American Patriots. The British and Hessian forces suffered 129 casualties, while the Americans suffered 153 dead or wounded. One of the American casualties was Hugh Jackson, the older brother of President Andrew Jackson. He died from heat exhaustion suffered during the battle. Many historians believe Hugh Jackson’s death contributed to the disdain President Jackson felt toward the British. His ill feelings toward England played a big part in his presidency’s foreign policy.
