This is Volume II of the classic work that tells the story of the
Revolutionary War in North Carolina. In 1854, and again in 1856,
Rev. Eli Washington Caruthers published a compilation of stories,
gathered over the course of many years, that spotlighted the
bravery, sacrifices and viciousness that were a part of life for
North Carolinians during the Revolutionary War. From the actions of
Governor William Tryon in suppressing the Regulator rebellion,
through the first Patriot victory against British forces at Moores
Creek, to the depredations of Tory terror David Fanning and the
climactic battle at Guilford Courthouse, the Old North State was
the scene of some of the most pivotal episodes in the struggle for
American independence. Long out of print, this newly illustrated
edition tells the stories of the men and women who paid for
American liberty with their blood and sacrifice. Caruthers' two
volumes on the Revolutionary War in North Carolina are the stories
of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. They are the
stories of men like John Grady, John Ashe, Andrew Balfour and
countless others who gave their all for the cause of freedom, and
in doing so showed the character that has been a benchmark for
patriotic sacrifice ever since.
