Travel back in time to the American Revolution and to a pre-contact Santee Indian village with augmented reality. Use this app at home, school, or on-site at the Fort Watson battlefield in South Carolina. THE HISTORY South Carolina’s Fort Watson was built atop the remains of a large ceremonial mound by pre-contact indigenous people. The mound may have been used by the Santee Indians around 1300-1500 CE. It is the biggest Indian mound of that period yet discovered in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina. The mound was repurposed as a British garrison—called Fort Watson—during the Revolutionary War and was part of a vital communication and supply network for the British during their occupation of South Carolina. After an eight-day siege here by Patriot forces under the command of Brigadier General Francis Marion and Lieutenant Colonel Henry Lee, this strategic outpost fell to the Americans, who used an ingenious structure called Maham’s Tower to fire down into the fort and trap the enemy.
