At Ninety-six, near the end of May, the army was joined bymany gentlemen of distinction, as volunteers, besides seven hundredCarolina rangers, which constituted the principal strength of thecountry. On June 1st, the army crossed Twelve-mile River; and leavingtheir tents standing on advantageous ground, at eight in the eveningmoved onward through the woods to surprise Estatoe, about twenty milesfrom the camp. On the way Montgomery surprised Little Keowee and putevery man to the sword, sparing on...ly women and children. Early the nextmorning they reached Estatoe only to find it abandoned, except by a fewwho could not escape. The place was reduced to ashes, as was Sugar Town, and every other settlement in the lower nation destroyed. For years, thehalf-charred rafters of their houses might be seen on the desolatehill-sides. "I could not help pitying them a little, " wrote Major Grant;"their villages were agreeably situated; their houses neatly built;there were everywhere astonishing magazines of corn, which were allconsumed.
