When Jane Black Thomas overheard Loyalists plotting a surprise attack on her son's militia camp, she rode nearly 60 miles through dangerous territory to warn him. Her daring ride gave Colonel John Thomas Jr. and his Spartan Regiment time to prepare an ambush that repelled the attackers — fueling Patriot momentum toward the war-changing Battle of King's Mountain just three months later.
The Battle of Cedar Springs took place in-and-around the grounds surrounding the South Carolina School for the Deaf & Blind. To enjoy the area, please stay along the paths of the nearby Croft Passage of the Palmetto Trail.
