History 

Historic research on the Lowcountry Revolutionary War Trail is ongoing and will probably carry on for many years into the future.  This is because new information such as diaries and letters continues to be found and added to the collections of museums, historic societies and archives.

While planning the first phase of the Trail, Lowcountry Council of Government staffers felt like successful detectives when they found a copy of a diary at the South Carolina Historical Society.  It had been kept by a New Jersey physician who had traveled with British troops as they crossed the Lowcountry from Savannah to Charleston in 1780.   Dr. Uzal Johnson’s route through the area formed the basis of Phase One. Visitors can now take this journey that took the British soldiers more than a week; they stopped to fight American troops along the way.
