CTM: Battle of Congaree Creek |
|
Historical Information:
In the early afternoon of February 15, 1865, Confederate troops under Gen. Matthew Butler advanced up State Road and fought Major Gen. John Logan’s XVth Corps at this site in the only major defense of Columbia. Confederate troops held their line of breastworks on the north side of the flooding creek but retreated when outflanked by Union troops. The Earthworks can be seen along Old State Road near the Timmerman Trail crossing. State Road was South Carolina’s first planned road from the coast to the mountains.
