This is a fanciful and hyperbolic-laden account of the major events which occurred in the General's life, written in the style of the times. Nevertheless, much valuable data can be learned from it.
After its first publication, General Horry wrote to Parson Weems:
"I requested you would (if necessary) so far alter the work as to make it read grammatically, and I gave you leave to embellish the work, but entertained not the least idea of what has happened . . . You have carved and mutilated it with so many erroneous statements, your embellishments, observation and remarks, must necessarily be erroneous as proceeding from false grounds. . . . Can you suppose I can be pleased with reading particulars (though so elevated, by you) of Marion and myself, when I know such never existed."Though Horry did not want to be known as the co-author of this work, I have decided to let his name remain, with this notice, as it has traditionally been connected with it. For all this, the basic ideas, gleaned largely from facts provided by Peter Horry and Robert Marion (the nephew of Francis), remain largely unchanged.
