This was a truce which begins: "Major Ganey and his men under his command to lay down their arms as enemies to the State, & are not to resume them again until ordered to do so, in support of the interest of the United States and of this state in particular..." with much more, signed in type by: Francis Marion, and Micajah Ganey, the former more popularly known as "The Swamp Fox."
