Several days late for this 3 Sept event, but it'll be announced earlier next year.
From The Times and Democrat, South Carolina: Battle of Eutaw Springs remembered at ceremony marking 230th anniversary
EUTAWVILLE - On the bright, warm morning of Sept. 3, a large group joined the South Carolina Society Sons of the American Revolution, Battle of Eutaw Springs Chapter, to observe the significant battle that occurred over a five-hour period during the three-week campaign in 1781, which was termed as "clearly a victory" by scholar David Reuwer.
Reuwer, editor of Patriots of the American Revolution magazine and an attorney from Camden, was the featured speaker in the morning program held at the Historic Church of the Epiphany in Eutawville.
"A memorial is a promise to the future from the past," Reuwer said.
American and British forces comprised just over 2,000 troops each during the fight on Sept. 8, 1781. Both sides took severe blows, with the number of soldiers listed as killed, wounded, captured or missing totaling 579 of 2,200 troops for the Americans and 882 of 2,000 troops for the British.
The engagement was the culmination of a three-week campaign that covered 120 miles, Reuwer said. Continental Army Gen. Nathanael Greene actually occupied the area after the battle while the British troops retreated, indicating that most battles were hit and run.
Reuwer said that although the battle doesn't get the credit it deserves, Eutaw Springs was the only major victory in South Carolina besides the Battle of Cowpens. The United States Congress established the memorial site on June 26, 1936, but never followed through with the financial support.
State President SCSSAR Mark C. Anthony spoke at the wreath-laying held at the memorial immediately after the service. Attendees and participants included representatives from SAR chapters from North Carolina and Georgia, as well as the State Regent of the South Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution Marilyn Altman.
