Redcoats on the Cape Fear - The Revolutionary War in Southeastern North Carolina, revised edition (Paperback, Revised edition)

Nestled on the banks of the Cape Fear River, Wilmington, North Carolina, remains famous as a blockade-running port during the Civil War. Not as renowned is the city's equally vital but less appreciated role during the Revolution. Through the port came news, essential supplies, and critical materials for the Continental Army. Both sides contended for the city and both sides occupied it at different times. Its merchant-based economy created a hotbed of dissention over issues of trade and taxes before the Revolution and the considerable number of Loyalists sharing the space with Whigs vying for independence generated considerable tension among civilians. Based on more than 100 eyewitness accounts and other primary sources, this volume chronicles the fascinating story of Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear during the Revolution, shedding light on an overlooked era of the region.
