These sites are not just locations\, but living reminders of courage\, perseverance\, and the enduring spirit of freedom. \n“Revolutionary South Carolina: A Photographic Journey by Marie and Eddie Goff” will remain on display at the State Library through June 30.

Credited as being based on Dr. Robert Bass’ (then a professor at Furman University) biography “The Swamp Fox\,” it starred Leslie Nielsen in the title role. For many viewers this was their first introduction to Marion. \nHowever getting “The Swamp Fox” on television was almost as hard as it was to catch the partisan leader. Tom Elmore tells is the story behind the scenes of the making of the show which involves Davy Crockett\, The House Un-American Actives Committee and the Canadian Government. Elmore will show some rare images that have never been published to tell this almost forgotten part of Disney history.
