Hie Strange Story of America's Only
Scottish Queen
IT HAS been said by
one of the greatest of
historians the saddest
day Scotland ever knew
was that of Culloden,
that terrible battle
which forever crushed
the power of the Stu
arts, and in which so
many of the bravest and best of Eng
land's northern neighbors gave up their
lives and their liberty, but not their sa
cred honor. This battle, fateful it was,
meant a great deal for North Carolina,
since it brought about the emigration
from Scotland to this province of more
than forty thousand Scotch, members of
practically all the clans, who, coming to
Wilmington with their few belongings,
went up the Cape Fear river and settled
near the head-waters of that stream,
choosing as their chief place of settle
ment a place which they named Cross
m
spirits. Flora McDonald was naturally
looked upon as virtually the head of the
colony, and gentle as was her rule it was
yet que'enly enough. Her husband built
on the very bank of one of the creeks, at
a point which is now in the very center
of the town of Fayetteville, a cabin,
using for this the logs of the forest, of
which the other buildings at Cross Creek
were constructed. There was a rude
fort to defend the town against any pos
sible foray by the Indians. The McDon
alds lived a very industrious and frugal
life, as indeed did all their Scotch com
patriots, and wealth began to come to
them, as wealth was understood in those
days,they acquiring lands and slaves also.
When the war against the French
came along in 1758, which broke the
power of France on this continent, they
volunteered and were in the forces
which attacked and captured Fort Du
quesne, in Pennsylvania. The Scotch
have always been a very loyal folk to an
oath and they firmly believed the oaths

Creek because of the fact that two
streams crossed each other there, this
crossing being real and not fanciful, and
this strange phenomenon having contin
ued until a very recent period, when
some improver tampering with nature
changed the course of one of the streams
and so ended the strange freak forever.
The colonists came over in a somewhat
scattered fashion at first, beginning ear
ly in 1750, the year after the battle, but
soon they poured in by thousands, and
with a large body of them came a woman
who had been the heroine of one of
history's most notable and winning ro
mances, this personage being none other
than Flora McDonald, the bonnie Scotch
lassie who had so daringly and skillfully
saved ''Prince Charlie," the "Pretender,"
as the English called him, and saved
him from capture and doubtless death or
life imprisonment. This devoted woman,
handsome and striking in appearance
and manner, came over with her hus
band and with a great following of her
own clan. The country was then forest
and the Indians were only beginning to
retire. It was a new world and a new
life, but the Scotch, whether Highland
or Lowland, faced it with undaunted
they had taken before they left the home
country bound them to give unquestion
ing and absolute allegiance to Great
Britain. So it came about that when
the Revolution came along the Scotch
took what to the other settlers seemed
the very strange step of standing by the
King. McDonald, the husband of Flora,
who had been a soldier on the other side,
received the King's commission as a
brigadier-general and raised the royal
standard at Cross Creek, to which, to be
sure, the Scotch rallied almost to a man,
and they were quickly armed. One
company chose as its weapon the clay
more, the long, basket-hilted sword the
Scotch have always loved. The patriots
rose too and they determined to crush
McDonald and his men. They succeed
ed thoroughly, for in the battle of
Moore's Creek Bridge in March 1776 the
Scotch were outwitted and outfought.
The Scotch were attempting to get to
Wilmington, to form a junction with
other royal forces, the purpose of the
Americans being to head them off and
bring about a decisive engagement. The
Scotch attempted to cross the bridge,
from which the Americans had removed
the planks and had also greased the re-
