Excerpt from History of South Carolina, Vol. 2 of 5 In the summer of Governor Hamilton's last year as chief execu tive, Thomas Sumter, the last of the great figures and partisans of the Revolutionary war, died June 31, 1832. For twenty-one years he had been quietly living at Bradford Springs. He was born in Virginia in 1734, and was therefore within two years of the century mark. The record of his life has been told in many chapters of South Carolina history, as well as in at least one consecutive narrative.
