Reading edition
The Life of General Francis Marion, by Brig.-gen. P. Horry, of Marion's Brigade, and Mason L. Weems, Baltimore, 1815. This volume went through many editions. (Cf. Sabin.) The Sketch of the Life of Brig.-gen. Francis Marion, and a History of his Brigade, by William Dobein James (Charleston, 1821), is now very rare. John James based on it a Life of Marion (N. Y., 1856). For an appreciative sketch of the noted partisan, see Lee, Memoirs, i. 394. Cf. also The Life of Francis Marion, by W. G. Simms, N. Y. (1846 and 1860); Headley, ii. 225; Lossing, in Harper's Monthly, xvii. 145; P. D. Hay, The Swamp Fox, in Ibid., lxvii. 545,—especially valuable as containing some original entries from the general's order-book; Hartley, Heroes, 1-212; Wilson, Biography, 82; Rogers, Biograph. Dict., 284; Charleston Year Book (1885, p. 338), where Marion's epitaph is given, etc. For portraits of Marion, see Irving's Washington, quarto ed., iv. 196; Lossing's Field-Book, ii. 684.—Ed.
