Francis Marian, a second-generation immigrant, was of French decent.
He truly was a "Swamp Fox.".
He and his men lived off the land fighting, running, and hiding.
The name was given to him by the British soldiers.
He was shipwrecked but survived to fight in the Indian War, and it was there he learned the guerilla warfare.
As a youth, he rode his horse through the streams, lakes, and swamps, learning the lay of the land.
