General Lost Battle,
Life; But Won Honor
An American general who
lost a battle and lost his life is
honored in North Carolina. A
town, a prestigious college
and a county are named for
Gen. William Lee Davidson.
Gen. William Lee Davidson
died Feb. 1, 1781 at the Battle
of Cowan’s Ford, after the
skirmish which delayed
Cornwallis and gained
precious time for Gen.
Nathanael Greene to regroup
and pursue the British general
in his retreat.
William Lee Davidson was a
backwoods general in North
Carolina’s War for In
dependence. Born in Lan
caster County, Pa., in 1746,
Davidson made the long trek
to North Carolina with his
family at the age of four. His
father established the family
on Davidson’s Creek in
southern Rowan (now Iredell)
County a few miles from
where Davidson College now
stands.
Here he grew up, learned to
ride and shoot, and also
learned to read and write
better than most of his con
temporaries, since he was
sent to a classical academy in
Mecklenburg County to finish
his education.
At the outbreak of the
Revolution Davidson im
mediately volunteered, was
commissioned major of the
4th Continental Regiment, and
marched away to join
Washington’s Army.
He fought at Germantown,
Pa., where he was promoted
to lieutenant colonel for
gallantry in action. With the
North .Carolina troops he
suffered the ice and snow and
privations at Valley Forge.
Although he held a com
mission in the Continental
Army, he was transferred to
second in command of the
militia in the Salisbury
district, which included the
entire western section of the
state.
After being wounded in the
battle of Colson’s Mill,
Davidson spent several
months at home recuperating.
Later, Davidson was
promoted to brigadier general
in command of the militia, in
place of the captured Gen.
Griffith Rutherford.
During this time the British
and Tories infested the
piedmont of both Carolinas.
Davidson’s partisan bands
were deployed for miles
around, harassed the British,
attacked the Tories and kept
up the spirit of patriot
resistance. However, Corn
wallis was determined to take
over Charlotte-Town and put
an end to the local
“rebellion.”
Cornwallis, with his greatly
superior force, occupied
Charlotte in September, 1781,
and during his entire stay his
men were under constant
sniping attack from David
son’s militia. The British
could obtain few provisions
and got no news from outside.
It was during this period that
Charlotte earned her proud
nickname “the Hornet’s
Nest.”
The following January,
Cornwallis decided to invade
North Carolina again — this
time going around Charlotte
and crossing the Catawba at
one of the numerous fords.
Greene, sent by Washington
to command the patriot army
relied on Davidson to rouse
the militia and delay Corn
wallis until the Americans
were ready for battle. While
Greene retired northward to
Guilford Courthouse,
Davidson stationed men at
each of the fords on the
Catawba.
Cornwallis mistakenly
thought the main body of the
patriot army was down
stream, so planned only a
diversionary artillery barrage
at Beattie’s Ford, and decided
to lead the bulk of his forces
across Cowan’s Ford at
dawn.
The river, swollen from
winter rains and with a swift
current claimed some of the
British. The patriot picket at
the water’s edge on the other
side sounded the alarm and
Davidson rode at the head of
his troops to reinforce them.
But it was too late. The British
had reached the bank and the
young brigadier was shot from
his horse.
Although Cowan’s Ford was
an American defeat, the
British were sufficiently
delayed for Greene to prepare
for battle at Guilford Cour
thouse. Davidson had not died
in vain.
Davidson College, Davidson
County, Tenn., and Davidso£
County, N. C., are named i£
honor of this popular partisa^
leader. Near Cowan’s Ford oq
Highway 73 an inviting parjfc
and a historical marked
remind passersby of DavicK
son’s exploits.
