This is the story of Collett Leventhorpe (1815?1889), an Englishman
and former captain in the 14th Regiment of Foot. Leventhorpe came
to North Carolina about 1843, settled there, and later served the
Confederacy as a colonel in the 34th and 11th N.C. and brigadier
general commanding the Home Guard in eastern North Carolina. Though
he trained as a physician at the College of Charleston in the late
1840s, he never practiced and was a restless man, endlessly in
search of fortune?before the war in the gold fields of North
Carolina and Georgia, and after it in the pursuit of lost estates,
art treasures and inventions. But he excelled first and foremost as
a Confederate soldier. As a field commander he was never defeated
in battle, and his record was marred only by his own rejection of a
much deserved but very late promotion to CSA brigadier. He lies
buried in the beautiful Happy Valley section of Caldwell County.
