Battle of Van Creek
The Battle of Van Creek was a minor engagement on February 11, 1779, near Elberton, Georgia, during the American Revolutionary War. Patriot militia sought to stop a Loyalist force from crossing the Savannah River to rendezvous with a British force which had recently captured Augusta, Georgia. The Loyalist force was able to flank and defeat the Patriot militia, but suffered its own defeat a few days later at the Battle of Kettle Creek.[1][2]
