Abstract
This manuscript, derived from an 18th-century leather-bound order book, records the daily orders, officer rosters, disciplinary actions, and logistical directives of the 3rd South Carolina Regiment during December 1776–February 1777. It provides detailed insight into camp administration, including provisioning, discipline, patrols for deserters, and preparations for movement. Together, these entries offer a look at Revolutionary War military routine and leadership within the regiment.
