30 lugl 1780 anni - Battle of Hanging Rock

Descrizione:

On July 30th, Major William Richardson Davie and his North Carolina Patriot force ambushed three companies of Col. Samuel Bryan's North Carolina Royalists. The ambush was located within sight of the strong British post at Hanging Rock. Most of the Loyalists were killed or wounded. After capturing all of the weapons and horses of the Royalists, Major Davie withdrew with his force. The British garrison at Hanging Rock was too startled by the sudden attack to intervene on behalf of the Loyalists.
