Produktbeschreibung
This book documents the Battle of Lindley's Mill located in North Carolina, during the Revolutionary War. THIS IS THE ONLY GOVERNOR IN THE USA EVER TAKEN PRISONER DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. This historical battle, a 4 hour fight (very long for Rev. War) occurred to free N.C. Gov. Burke who was captured along with 200 residents of Hillsborough, by nasty Tory David Fanning. David Fanning was directed to capture the Governor by the British (Maj James Craig). This was NOT coincidental, as most history books describe Fanning's effort. This book provides information NEVER published before, with original letters found in the Library of Congress, and the British Archives. Included is a historical overview of the Lindley Mill property, and a general discussion about the family. Revolutionary War pension records assist in detailing the events, including the subsequent attempts to free the Governor at Brown Marsh. Lastly, there is a detailed discussion about David Fanning, which dispels a lot of folklore.

Autorenporträt
This book's content comes from this authors collection of 15-volumes of Florida Land Grant Atlas books detailing all the grantees across the State - east of the State Capital. Future volumes will include the western panhandle. However, this book "mines" the information from all 15-volumes. In addition, there is a volume detailing all the Seminole Indian War forts, and freshwater Springs.
