Colonel Hambright's militia
Major Chronicle's militia - Gaston County, North Carolina
Near here Whig scouts questioned a Tory girl who had just been up to Ferguson's campsite to deliver some chickens.

The British commander was wearing an unusual "checked hunting shirt" over his fine officer's redcoat. |
