At this place we passed Sunday, visited the grave of De Kalb & obtained some information relative to the interesting military transactions which happened in & near it.




Camden does not contain quite so many Houses as Augusta, but they are larger and better built.

We drank Tea at the House of Col. Kershaw, who was the very first Settler of Camden & who is also the founder of three other considerable Towns.   He had been extremely useful to Gen Lincoln in the War. [Source]
