Sergeant Jasper at Fort Sullivan
In June 1776, the British fleet under Sir Peter Parker advances on Charleston, South Carolina. Their target is Fort Sullivan, guarding the harbor and entrance to the town. The battle rages, and cannon balls strike down the flag. A Sergeant Jasper rushes from his post inside the fort, picks up the flag, ties it to the rammer of a cannon, mounts the parapet, and plants it on the bastion (pictured here). All the while British cannon shots fly about him. He succeeds; the Colonialists continue their effort, and the British are defeated.
