The American military leader most famous for this tactic was Francis Marion, aka "The Swamp Fox" who fought during the American Revolutionary War against the British forces commanded by General Tarleton, harassing them and eventually driving the British Army out of South Carolina. His most common tactic was to launch a quick strike and then retreat to the marshes, swamps, and forests nearby - which his men were intimately familiar with, leaving the opposing forces to blunder about blindly in unfamiliar terrain.
You also might be referring to John Mosby, a Confederate colonel whose "hit and run" style of warfare earned him the nickname "the Gray Ghost." In his case, however, his men mostly retreated into the Virginia forests or blended into the civilian population after their raids.
In the American Revolutionary War, Francis Marion was an effective foe of the British army. His nickname was the Swamp Fox as he often retreated to the cover of southern swamp areas to elude British forces trying to pursue him and defeat his colonial forces.
Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion (ca. 1732 – February 27, 1795) was a military officer who served in the American Revolutionary War.
