The
Battle of Hobkirk's Hill (sometimes referred to as the
Second Battle of Camden) was a battle of the
American Revolutionary War fought on April 25, 1781, near
Camden, South Carolina. A small American army under
Nathanael Greene defended a ridge known as Hobkirk's Hill against an attack by an even smaller British force led by
Francis Rawdon. After a fierce clash, Greene retreated a few miles, leaving Rawdon's soldiers in possession of the hill. The battlefield marker is located at Broad Street and Greene Street north of the center of Camden.
