Abstract
Few military units of the American Revolution have received less attention from historians than Major John Harrison’s South Carolina Rangers, a provincial regiment organized in June 1780. The handful of accounts that do mention Harrison and his troops have generally portrayed them in an unfavorable light, describing Harrison and his brothers as robbers and the Rangers as plunderers and murderers.
