Hanging Staircase Massacre At Augusta Remembered
Thirteen Patriots and a British officer died on the famous hanging staircase in the Welch house during the 1780 Augusta siege. After Charleston fell, Col Elijah Clarke moved riflemen to retake the town, and Col Brown ordered executions from the staircase as Indian auxiliaries killed additional prisoners in the yard. Light Horse Harry Lee reclaimed Augusta, and Brown was hanged there, completing the grim tableau.
