Flashback in American History
Prominent Jewish Colonial Hero
Captured by British at Savannah
(An American Jewish
Press Feature)
CHARLESTOWN, S. C., Dec.
29, 1778—A Jewish leader in the
colonists' fight for independence
against the British, Morris Shef-
t a 11, Deputy Commissionary
General of Issues to the Con-
tinental Troops for the State of
Georgia, was trapped in the
siege of Savanah and captured
by the British.
Word that Sheftall, termed by
the British a "very great rebel,"
had been arrested by His Majes-
ty's Troops, was revealed in a
letter from the Colonial leader
to his brother, a resident here.
A Commissary General for
Troops in the area of Georgia,
Sheftall was in arms against
the British rule when the first
call for volunteers was issud by
General George Washington.
In his letter to his brother,
Sheftall wrote that on the ap-
proach of the British to Savan-
nah, he, in the company of 168
Continental officers and enlist-
ed men, attempted an orderly
retreat in the face of numerical-
ly superior enemy forces. An es-
timated 3,500 British troops bol-
stered by two Hessian battalions,
however, forced the colonists to
a river's edge. A high tide pre-
vented any crossing and tinder
a hail of bullets Sheftall and
his men were forced to surrend-
er.
Sheftall reported in his letter
smuggled here by riders through
the British lines that his resis-
tence to questioning proved so
infuriating to the British com-
mander that he was thrown into
a cell with slaves. On three sep-
arate occasions Sheftall was al-
most run through with a bayo-
net in the hands of an infuriated
sentry.
Trickery was used in attempts
to obtain military data from
him, the Jewish patriot wrote.
Each attempt failed.
