Aunt Maggy and the Brave Margaret Brentford
In colonial South Carolina Aunt Maggy, known as Margaret Brentford, helps sustain patriots while caring for the ill and aiding her brother Richard. When British forces threaten, she shelters them and sacrifices by rigging a powder keg, destroying the intruders as her cottage burns, leaving only a stone marker reading Aunt Maggy.
