The Death of John Laurens: A Summarized Account of August 26th and 27th, 1782

Sources and links to said sources will be listed at the end of this post in Chicago format. This post is purely for educational purposes and is not meant to be used in any research, citations, or criticism of other works or individuals. Please refer back to the list of sources if you intend to use this material in a similar fashion.

What happened on the evening of August 26th, 1782, and the morning following? This was the eve of the death of John Laurens and the events that would occur on the morning on the 27th would go on to be recognized as incomplete, like a puzzle missing some pieces. However, after some recent diving into the topic and looking into letters from Nathanael Greene, Mordecai Gist, and others describing Laurens’ “gallant fall”, I will be presenting a summary and compilation of this information to paint an unfortunate night in an incomplete fashion. There are still things that remain unclear to me, but this may provide some clarity on those who are unaware of what happened. 

To set the scene, Tar Bluff, the Combahee Ferry, and the Combahee River in South Carolina is a mix of two sets of scenery in the present day. Nearer to the river and the flatter land, it is thick marshland and difficult to travel through. This is why the ferry was so necessary and useful and likely why the British commandeered it. The drier land higher than the marsh was primarily deciduous and coniferous trees that covered muddy and sandy ground with leaves and pine needles. Today, the area is very dense and overgrown along the riverbanks due to the nature of the region and its climate. It is uncertain what the weather at the time of this engagement might have been, but by referring back to lunar calendars, it is deductible that the night of the 26th-27th was a waning gibbous; the moon would be mostly full but not entirely so and would continue to cast less light in the coming days. Furthermore, it is important to mention that the location that is mentioned that Laurens had been staying and later buried at was roughly thirty-seven miles from where the engagement against the Regulars occurred. Gist mentioned that the main encampment he had made was twelve miles north of Chehaw Neck and roughly fifty miles away from Greene's main headquarters outside of Charleston.

The British were commanded by Major William Brereton and reportedly one-hundred and forty men strong consisting of the British 64th Regiment and volunteers from the British 17th Regiment. The 64th Regiment had been in other engagements where Laurens was present also, including the battles of Brandywine and Germantown as well as the much later and much more influential Siege of Charleston in 1780. This was not the end of the 64th engaging against Laurens as they were reportedly at the Siege of Yorktown and surrendered with the body of men under General Cornwallis’s command. 

On the days leading up to the 27th, Gist remarked that an enemy fleet of British regulars had taken the command of the Combahee Ferry and both sides had been locked in a stalemate regarding the waters due to the circumstances: the Patriots could not engage the enemy due to the ships in the river, and the Regulars could not get their supplies north and across the Combahee because the Patriots were patrolling the area. Gist, with a combined might of over three-hundred men consisting of the 3rd and 4th Virginia Regiments under the command of Colonel Baylor, the Delaware Regiment, one-hundred infantry of the line commanded by Major Beall, the entirety of the command under Lt. Col. John Laurens, and all of which was under the command of General Gist. 

It’s important to mention before continuing that despite much research into the matter of Laurens’ illness on the evening and morning of the 26th and 27th, myself and other partners in researching [the esteemed @pr0fess0r-b1tch] could not find a reputable source mentioning directly that John Laurens was ill. Gregory D. Massey does not explicitly mention a source in his book, but instead says,

“From his sickbed, Laurens learned of Gist’s orders. He forwarded the latest news to headquarters and added a query…”

Other sources we found mentioned that many of the northern regiments and men were falling ill, even some doctors themselves, but there is not a primary source that lists that Laurens was sick or bedridden aside from Massey and the sources that pull from his accounts including the Wikipedia of Laurens and the American Battlefield Trust. Because of this oversight, I am choosing to redact the concept of Laurens’ illness until otherwise proven by a primary source whether it be a letter or other statements. 

Laurens was given the command of the men under Gist by General Greene and despite not being well-liked by the men who were formerly under Light Horse Harry Lee’s command, it was theoretically remedied by the intermediary of Major Beall. On the night of the 26th, Brigadier General Mordecai Gist recounted in a letter to Major General Nathanael Greene that “Lt. Col. Laurens arrived in the intermediate time, that solicited the direction and command at that post”, the post being that Gist had ordered an earthworks to be constructed at Chehaw Neck to “annoy their shipping on their return”. In the evening that Laurens took command and oversight, Gist sent fifty men to be under his command with some Matrosses and a Howitzer. Laurens, in command of these men, were stationed on the northern bank of the river. 

The commanding officer of the British, Major Brereton, evidently received information of this movement of the Howitzer to the earthworks within the day that such a motion was ordered. The quick intelligence may allude to an inside source that the British had or a matter of good reconnaissance, but Major Brereton left in the ships at two in the morning and “dropped silently down the river”, according to General Gist. These movements went undiscovered until four in the morning when patrols noticed and alerted the extended body led by Laurens. It is stated that the troops were then “put into motion to prevent their landing”. Gist then mentions that before he could arrive and defend the efforts, the British had successfully landed and engaged Laurens directly. The men scattered when Laurens fell, but Gist regathered them within the quarter mile, following which the enemy forces reboarded the boats and left. 

According to a Delaware Captain, William McKennan, under Laurens’ command, Laurens was “anxious to attack the enemy” before the main body and Gist’s reinforcements arrived. McKennan says,

“being in his native state, and at the head of troops…were sufficient to enable him to gain a laurel for his brow…but wanted to do all himself, and have all the honor.”

After Laurens had been injured in three other battles, Brandywine, Germantown, and Coosawatchie, and having his pride wounded at losses most notably the loss of Charleston in 1780, it would be understandable that he would be so willing to return to the fight for his nation after being detached and moved frequently in the later years of the war. McKennan’s account states in the same paragraph that Laurens was killed in the first volley of the attack by Brereton’s men. Some sources say that Laurens was upon a horse when he fell and was mortally wounded, but others suggest that he may have merely been standing in the enemy fire. All appear to agree that Laurens was one of the first victims of the enemy volleys. Whether he died upon the first impact is unknown, but his body was abandoned until Gist could regroup the men and return to the site to gather an understanding of who was killed and wounded in the action. 

Following the death of a notable officer, statesman, and diplomat, many men would come to regard Laurens as an incredibly accomplished and noteworthy young man and officer. Greene writes in an August 29th letter to General Washington,

“Colo. Laurens’s fall is glorious, but his fate is much to be lamented. Your Excellency has lost a valuable Aid de Camp, the Army a brave Officer, and the public a worthy and patriotic Citizen.”

In “The Delaware Regiment in the Revolution” where McKennan’s recollection of events can be found, it states,

“In the fall and death of Colonel John La[urens], the army lost one of its brightest ornaments, his country one of its most devoted patriots, his native State one of its most amiable and honored sons, and the Delaware detachment a father, brother, and friend.”

Gist’s letter to Greene on the day of the 27th says that “that brave and gallant officer fell, much regretted and lamented.” Alexander Hamilton, a fellow aide, close friend, and alleged lover, remarks in a letter to General Greene on October the 12th, 1782, over a month since Laurens’ passing,

“I feel the deepest affliction at the news we have just received of the loss of our dear and inestimable friend Laurens. His career of virtue is at an end. How strangely are human affairs conducted, that so many excellent qualities could not ensure a more happy fate? The world will feel the loss of a man who has left few like him behind, and America of a citizen whose heart realized that patriotism of which others only talk. I feel the loss of a friend I truly and most tenderly loved, and one of a very small number.” 

As for how his own father, Henry Laurens, reacted to the news, a pair of letters and brief segments from them may very well put it into perspective of how not only close friends, but a good number of men felt about the death of Laurens. On November 6th, 1782 from John Adams to Henry Laurens:

“I know not how to mention, the melancholly Intelligence by this Vessell, which affects you so tenderly.— I feel for you, more than I can or ought to express.— Our Country has lost its most promising Character, in a manner however, that was worthy of her Cause.— I can Say nothing more to you, but that you have much greater Reason to Say in this Case, as a Duke of ormond said of an Earl of Ossory. ‘I would not exchange my son for any living Son in the World.’”

In a return letter to Adams from Henry Laurens dated November 12th, 1782:

“My Country enjoins & condescends to desire, I must therefore, also at all hazards to myself obey & comply. Diffident as I am of my own Abilities, I shall as speedily as possible proceed & join my Colleagues. For the rest, the Wound is deep, but I apply to myself the consolation which I administered to the Father, of the Brave Colonel Parker. ‘Thank God I had a Son who dared to die in defence of his Country.’”

I would like to send a huge thank you to @butoridesvirescens for instigating this rabbit hole that we went down and @pr0fess0r-b1tch for being my research partner and assisting in transcriptions. I appreciate the work done by both of them.

PREPRATION OF A BUEATY SOAP || A2Z SKILLS Manufacturing encompasses a diverse array of processes and technologies aimed at producing a wide range of products, from everyday essentials to specialized components. Take wires, for instance: these are typically manufactured through drawing processes, where metal rods or strips are pulled through dies to reduce their diameter and achieve the desired thickness. This method ensures uniformity and strength, crucial for applications in electronics, construction, and industrial settings. On the other hand, the production of bottles involves molding techniques such as blow molding or injection molding. Blow molding heats plastic resin into a molten state and then inflates it into a mold cavity to create a hollow shape, used extensively for beverage containers and packaging. Injection molding, meanwhile, injects molten plastic into a mold under high pressure, ideal for producing intricate shapes with precision, like medical vials or automotive parts. Both wire and bottle manufacturing rely heavily on materials science, engineering precision, and quality control measures to meet stringent specifications. Advances in automation, robotics, and sustainability practices are transforming these industries, reducing waste, improving efficiency, and expanding design possibilities. Overall, manufacturing processes like these exemplify the intersection of innovation, engineering, and practical application in meeting global OUR LINKS:

The Rise of B2B Marketplaces

B2B marketplaces serve as digital meeting points for buyers and sellers. Over the last decade, they have gained traction due to the convenience, speed, and efficiency they offer to businesses looking to trade internationally. Traditional methods of sourcing and procurement, involving in-person meetings, trade shows, or middlemen, are increasingly being replaced by digital platforms like TradeKey.

TradeKey, launched in 2006, is one of the pioneers in the B2B online space, providing a platform where manufacturers, suppliers, importers, and exporters can interact seamlessly.

Market Insights and Analytics: TradeKey also offers access to valuable market data and analytics, which can guide businesses in making informed decisions. By understanding market trends, buyer preferences, and pricing strategies, businesses can fine-tune their offerings and enhance their competitiveness in the global market.

Security and Trust: Overcoming B2B Fraud

 "A logo is not just a graphic. It is the visual embodiment of a brand's value, identity, and promise." - Jacob Cass

Logo design is a blend of creativity, strategy, and visual communication. To create a memorable and effective logo, designers follow certain principles that help them achieve the desired outcome. Here are 15 fundamental principles of logo design and their significance:

A timeless logo withstands the test of time and avoids trendy elements that may become outdated.

4. Uniqueness

An original and unique logo stands out from the competition and helps in building brand identity.

5. Balance

A well-balanced logo distributes visual elements harmoniously, creating a sense of stability and equilibrium.

6. Proportion

Maintaining proper proportion ensures that the logo components are visually pleasing and balanced.

7. Memorability

A memorable logo leaves a lasting impression on viewers, making it easier to recall and recognize.

8. Appropriateness

The logo should reflect the nature and values of the brand or business it represents.

9. Negative Space

Strategic use of negative space within a logo can create visual interest and add depth to the design.

10. Typography

Choosing the right font or typography enhances the message and personality of the logo.

11. Color

Color plays a crucial role in evoking emotions and conveying meaning, making it important to select the appropriate color palette.

12. Scalability

A logo should be scalable without losing its quality and legibility, whether it's displayed on a small business card or a massive billboard.

13. Consistency

Consistency in the logo design ensures brand recognition, especially when it's used across various marketing materials.

14. Distinctiveness

A distinctive logo sets the brand apart and helps in establishing a unique visual identity.

15. Context

Considering the target audience and the industry in which the brand operates helps in designing a logo that resonates with the intended audience.

Remember, these principles are not rigid rules but rather guidelines that experienced logo designers follow to create visually appealing and effective logos. By understanding and applying these principles, designers can craft logos that are both visually striking and communicate the essence of the brand.

The Basics of Grid Systems in Logo Design

In the realm of logo design, grid systems play a pivotal role in creating visually harmonious and balanced logos. Grids provide a structure that helps designers achieve balance, proportion, and scalability in their logo creations. Understanding the basics of grid systems is crucial for every aspiring logo designer.

Importance of Grid Systems in Logo Design

Grid systems act as a framework that guides the placement of elements within a logo. They ensure that the logo maintains a consistent and cohesive visual appeal. By defining the grid structure, designers can achieve precision and balance, resulting in a visually pleasing logo that can adapt to various sizes and contexts.

Benefits of Using Grid Systems in Logo Design

1. Achieving Balance: Grids help designers distribute elements evenly, creating a sense of balance in the logo's composition. This balance is crucial to maintaining the logo's visual appeal and avoiding any distractions or visual discrepancies.

2. Ensuring Proportion: Grids assist in determining the optimal proportions of various elements within the logo. They ensure that each component, such as icons, typography, and symbols, is properly sized and positioned relative to one another, resulting in a visually pleasing and proportionate logo.

3. Enhancing Scalability: Grid systems enable designers to create logos that can be scaled up or down without losing their visual impact. By aligning elements to the grid, designers can ensure that the logo maintains its integrity and legibility across different sizes and formats.

4. Facilitating Consistency: Grids act as a guide for placing elements consistently throughout the logo. This consistency is essential for building a strong brand identity and recognition, as it allows the logo to be recognized easily across various touchpoints and marketing materials.

5. Streamlining the Design Process: Grid systems provide a structured framework that speeds up the design process. Designers can utilize grid templates or create their own to align and position elements efficiently, resulting in a more systematic and streamlined logo creation process.

As a logo designer, incorporating grid systems into your design process can greatly enhance the overall quality and professionalism of your logos. By understanding and implementing the principles of grid systems, you can create visually appealing and well-balanced logos that leave a lasting impression on viewers.

Remember, grid systems are not strict rules to be followed blindly. They should be seen as a guiding tool that allows for flexibility and creativity while maintaining visual coherence. Experiment with different grid layouts and adjust them according to the needs and aesthetics of your logo design.

Conclusion

Grid systems are a fundamental aspect of logo design. By embracing the principles of grid systems, designers can achieve balance, proportion, and scalability in their logo creations. The use of grids ensures visual consistency and enhances the overall professionalism of a logo. As you embark on your logo design journey, consider incorporating grid systems into your design process to create impactful and visually stunning logos.

Remember, the grid is your guide, but creativity and intuition also play significant roles in achieving a successful logo design. Embrace the power of grids, experiment with their variations, and create logos that captivate and leave a lasting impression.

Before diving into the design process, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your target audience. Consider their demographics, preferences, and values. Analyzing your audience's behavior and needs will help you create a logo that resonates with them and leaves a lasting impression.

2. Reflect Your Brand Identity

A successful logo should accurately reflect your brand identity and the core values of your business. Think about the message you want to convey and how you want your audience to perceive your brand. Whether you aim for elegance, playfulness, or professionalism, ensure your logo aligns with your brand personality.

3. Strive for Memorability

A memorable logo is crucial for effective branding. Aim for simplicity and avoid complex designs that can confuse or overwhelm your audience. A clean and straightforward logo tends to be more memorable and versatile across various platforms and marketing materials.

4. Embrace Timelessness

While trendy designs might be appealing in the short term, opting for a timeless logo is a better long-term strategy. Consider iconic logos like the Nike swoosh or the Coca-Cola logo—they have stood the test of time. Create a logo that will continue to stay relevant and represent your business for years to come.

5. Consider Different Backgrounds and Formats

Ensure your logo looks great on different backgrounds, including light and dark colors. It should also be adaptable to various formats, whether on a website, business card, or social media profile. Test your logo in different sizes and formats to ensure it remains clear and recognizable in any context.

6. Typography and Iconic Elements

Pay attention to typography and choose a font that complements your brand identity. Whether you opt for a classic serif font or a modern sans-serif typeface, make sure it matches the overall style and tone of your logo. Additionally, consider incorporating iconic elements or symbols that visually represent your industry or the essence of your business.

Remember, choosing the right logo is a crucial investment in your brand's success. It's worth consulting with a professional graphic designer who can incorporate these expert tips into the design process. By considering your target audience, brand identity, memorability, timelessness, adaptability, and typography, you'll be on your way to creating a logo that effectively represents your business and makes a lasting impression.

Logo Design Basics That Designers Must Follow

When it comes to creating impactful and timeless logos, there are certain design elements and fundamental principles that every logo designer must follow. These principles not only help in conveying the brand's message effectively but also ensure that the logo stands the test of time. Let's explore some of the key basics that designers must keep in mind.

1. Simplicity is Key

Simplicity is the cornerstone of effective logo design. A simple logo is more memorable, versatile, and can be easily recognized across various mediums and sizes. Avoid clutter and unnecessary complexity. Think of iconic logos like Nike's swoosh or the Coca-Cola logo, which have stood the test of time thanks to their simplicity.

2. Versatility Matters

A well-designed logo should be versatile, meaning it can be used in different contexts and formats without losing its impact. It should look equally good on a business card, a website, or a billboard. Consider how the logo will appear on different backgrounds, in different sizes, and in different digital or print formats.

3. Appropriateness to the Brand

A logo should accurately represent the essence of the brand it represents. It should align with the brand's values, target audience, and industry. A logo for a children's toy company would look vastly different from a logo for a law firm. Understanding the brand's identity and purpose is crucial in creating a logo that resonates with the target audience.

4. Effective Use of Negative Space

Negative space refers to the empty or background space around and within the primary elements of a logo. It can be cleverly used to create hidden meanings or symbols within the logo itself. Examples of effective use of negative space can be seen in logos like FedEx and the iconic arrow hidden between the "E" and the "X".

5. Timelessness is Key

A well-thought-out logo should stand the test of time. Avoid trendy design elements that might quickly become outdated. Aim for a classic style that can remain relevant for years to come. The logo of the famous clothing brand Levi's is a great example of a logo that has stood strong for over a century.

By following these design basics, logo designers can create impactful and memorable logos that effectively convey a brand's message. Remember, a well-crafted logo is the visual embodiment of a brand's values and can leave a lasting impression on customers.

Tools and Resources for Effective Logo Design

When it comes to creating professional logos, having the right tools and resources can make a world of difference. Here are some popular tools and resources that designers can utilize to bring their logo designs to life:
