From Camden, Camden National Park north on U. Highwaythen bear left for 2. InCamden was the oldest and largest city in the Carolina backcountry. It was strategic to both the British Army, which occupied the city, and the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Following a series of blunders before and during the Battle of Camden, the American army under command of Major General Horatio Gates was soundly defeated.
The Americans retreated in disarray and left behind many hundreds of casualties and soldiers captured. Major General Baron Johann DeKalb, a prominent German-born Continental officer, was mortally wounded during the battle and died three days later. With fewer troops, the British under Lt. General Lord Camden National Park won the battle with far fewer casualties. Captured Patriots were held, and some were executed, at the fortified town of Camden now the Broad St.
The Battlefield is open and free to the public during daylight hours. Special tours are also available! For a wonderful compendium of primary sources related to the Battle of Camden, see www.
Address: Flat Rock Rd. Every year in August, Historic Camden honors those who served and sacrificed at the devastating Battle of Camden.
