22 - Maham’s Tour, Cainhoy/Wando River
2 November 1781
Marion ordered Maham’s Regiment and a detachment of Shelby’s backwoodsmen to attack the redoubt at Wappetaw. When the British saw the Carolinians approaching, they abandoned the post without a shot. Maham’s cavalry patrolled the Cainhoy area capturing one British dragoon and burned a sloop and schooner that were collecting provisions for the British in Charlestown.
