With the Swamp Fox By James Otis With the Swamp Fox by James Otis Excerpt from With the Swamp Fox: A Story of General Marion's Young Spies I question if there be in the Carolinas any one who does not know full well the story of that night in Charleston, when, the door being locked upon him in order that he might be forced to drink, General Marion - then only a colonel - leaped from the window, thereby dislocating his ankle, rather than indulge in a carousal which to him was unseemly and ungentlemanly.
