South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission
Abstract
This publication is a reintroduction of James McCall to the American public. His role in the American Revolution has been almost forgotten by popular history for the past 200 years. Beginning with a brief family background, the article attempts to trace McCall from early in the revolution to his death prior to the ultimate victory. Major sources for the article include the History of Georgia, which was written by his son, Hugh McCall. Much of what we know comes from Hugh, although there are also strong tidbits from various pension applications later written by veterans of his company, regiment, or horse troop.
