The follow ine story in, perhaps, as
true an account as ran be written.1
without a f?vatttal of research, of
the famou retreat of the American'
army under Morgan and (Ireene
through North Carolina, of which
Botta says: "The retreat of Oeneral
(ireene and the pursuit of Coiuwal
lia are worthy to be placed among
the most remarkable erents of the
American war; they would have done
honor to the most celebrated captains
of that or any other cixich." The
Britiah historian, 8tedman, says :
"Had Lord Cornwallis had with him
at Guilford Court House the troops
lost by Colonel Tarkton at the (cm
pens, it is not extravagant to suppose
that the American colonies might
hae been reunited to the empire of
(Sreat Britain." The historians dif
fer as to several particulars, for which
see Moores S-hool History of North
Carolina, chapter xxxiii ; Wheeler's
History, page .rf, and Hill's article in
North Carolina Booklet, "lireene's
Retreat."
Cornwall Hakes Plans.
I tcneral Nat haniel ( ! rcene, w ho had
succeeded Gates, and was then at
Charlotte, took one division of his
army to Cheraw.on the IVe I fee, and
sent General Haniel Morgan, a Penn
sylvanian by birth and a Virginian
by adoption, southwest of the Ca
tawba. Cornwailis, seeing the Ameri
can army divided, planned to send
I-eslie up the IVe Dee or Yadkin to
threaten Ireene, to send Colonel Tar-
leton against Morgan in Spartanburg
county, S. C, on the Pacolet, and to
march northward from YYinnsbon
himself between his lieutenants to
Charlotte, then to receive the Amer
ican fugitives. On the 17th of Jan
uary, 17S1, Morgan defeated Tarleton
in a battle not lasting overall hour
and a half at Cowpens. Morgan,
knowing that Cornwailis, enraged at
the defeat of his favorite otheer ami
determine 1 to destroy his division
before he could unite with Greene,
began a retreat northward through
North Carolina, which was to last
four weeks and cover about 230
miles. After waiting two days for
Leslie, Karl Cornwailis started in
pursuit from Turkey Creek, 25 miles
south of Cow pens. Morgan had IKK)
or mom men and had captured 52
prisoners, and Cornwall had over
3,000 exclusively of cavalry and mi
litia.
Washington Joins Morgan.
Morgan sent Colonel William Wash
ington with the militia to guard the
finsoners on the (iillierttown road to
aland Kurd on the Catawba river,
while he himself, with the rest of th
armv. marched on the Hint Hill
road to Sherrill's Ford, dow n lower.
which he reached and crossed on the
23rd. Learning of Cornwailis' tardy
movements, he rested there till lie
could be joined by Washington's
men. Colonel Washington reached
Island rord and crossed same on the
evening of the 2,.tth, and on the 30th
joined Morgan at Sherrill's Ford,
about lb miles lower down, litis
meeting must have taken place on
the evening of the 30th. Morgan
sent the prisoners on to irgiuia im
der Colonel IVkeus, who proluhly
went by way of Statesville, falling
into the Charlotte road at w hat is
now New Perth Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church ,and going n irt h
ward from that point: Cornwailis in
the meantime had arrived at Rain
scur's Mill, near where LincolnUm
now stands, on the 2.ith, where lie
destroyed his heaviest stores and
turned toward Ileattie's Ford on the
28th.
Greene Crosses the Ford.
Greene had learned by cornier on
the 25th of Morgan's victory at Con -pens
and started across the country
with a small cavalry guard from
Cheraw, travelled alwut 20 miles a
day and reached Sherrill's Ford cm
the 30th. He had told linger to
march up the Yadkin and join Mor
gan at Salisbury. In a short consul
tation the veterans decided as to
their future operations and the 31st
each rode off, Morgan to overtake his
men who were retiringover the Salis
bury road, and ( Ireene to collect the
local militia and oppose Cornwailis'
crossing lower down the river.
This is based on local tradition.
As Morgana men marched up the
Ralisbury mad they were fired into
by some Tones hid in the woods on
the north side of the road, and a
skirmish ensued about five-eights of
a mile from the river, on what was
then the Simonton place. Musket
balls were picked up here a few
years ago.
A British Deserter.
Cornwailis. feinting to cross at
Bcattie's Ford, sent George OTIara
to cross at Cowan's or MeGowan's
Ford, four miles further south. This
ford is 500 yards wide and very
swift near the west bank of the river,
and rocks hidden by the water come
nearly to the surface. They were
piloted by German Tory named
Frederick Hager, probably from the
neighborhood of I lager's, in Lincoln
county, about seven miles northwest
of the ford. General William I
Davidson had collected militia to op
pose the British crossing, and at the
fin', shot of the patriots the coward
ly T.ry deserted the British in mid
stream, who continued their march
in a direct line to the Mecklenburg
side. I lager was said to have been
found dead in the woods some years
afterward, supposed to have been
killed by a patriot.

felt sure that he would be killed in

made a cluirge upon our breastworks
and our line was broken just to the

came swarming over and there was
Salisbury on different routes, about
ten minutes apart, Morgan having
got two days the start of Cornwailis,
who started on the 2nd of February.
Swollen Waters Deter Enemy.
Morgan reached Trading Ford on
the 3rd, where he was joined hy
Greene, who crossed with him that
night. This ford is seven miles
from Salisbury. It had been raining
for at least live days in the Blue
Ridge mountains, where the Yadkin
and Catawl rise, ami both rivers
were up. The British came just as
the Americans had crossed, but the
rising of the stream made it impass
able and they had to make a detour
up the stream and cross at Shallow
rd, which was accomplished on
the tiili. lird Cornwailis aimed to
reach the Dan river before (ireene
could cross it, and, wilh his over
whelming numlrrs, destroy his
army. Greene had sent orders to
linger to bear toward the east and
meet him at Guilford Court House
instead of Salisbury. The Americans
marched northward to Salem, and
then' rested awhile, waiting for the
scouts to bring information of the
enemv s movements, rinding that
rnwallis was in pursuit of him.
Greene turned east to Guilford.
There he met the other division of
the army under linger, and collected
few militia. He had sent word
before for the militia to collect here,
but few rescinded, lie aimed to
give lame to i ornwaius at tins
lace, hut on the advice of his oth
ers not to risk an encounter, he de
nied to put the Dan between him-'
self and Cornwailis. Colonels Car
ringtoti and Smith were sent ahead
to collect In nits at Irwin's Ferry, at
which place he had divided to erosi

men ami offered the command of the
same to Morgan. On account of his
being enfeebled with rheumatism, he
had to decline. It was therefore put
under Colonel Otheo Williams of
Maryland. This corps was to retard
and harrass the enemv, and thus
secure the march of the main body.
Greene started toward the Dan on
the 1 Ot It. and crossed Irwin's Ferry
on tne i itn. imams ugni corps,
which had lieell followed by Corn
wailis under the impression that it
was the whole army, learning at noon
on the l lth that Greene had crossed,
turned into the Boyd's Ferry mad at
2 o'onck.nnil finished crossing at 10
that night. The river could not be
forded and the British had no Units.
Cornwailis gave up pursuit and went
from there to Hillslioro.
Battle of Guilford Court House.
On March 15th occurred the bat
tle of Guilford Court House lietween
these two brave and brilliant Saxon
commanders, and on Holier l'.lth
Karl Cornwailis surrendered at York
town, in Virginia, to Washington,
assisted by the French llivt under
Rivhiiinlicau, and thus America was
free.
General Nathaniel Greene was
only 32years old, the son of a straight
laced (Junker preacher of Rhode
Island, raised a farmer and black
smith, untaught in the art of war,
and of a cautious, gentle and uusel
tish disposition, lie was of Saxon-
F.ngUsh lescent. Morgan was a man
advanced in years, imiicttious anil
self-willed, and the ablest command
er ot light tnmps ot his lime, lie
was no doubt of Welsh origin. Karl
Cornwailis was a man of great abil
ity, but was not inspired by the same
lofty, motives which actuated and
were a help to Greene and Morgan.

He Got the Raise.

A small boy dow n in Wall slreet
demonstrated that there are several
ways of getting a salary raised. He
was receiving 3 a week, all of which
he had to contribute toward the fam
ily expenses, and he longed for the
financial independence oflered by the
far distant prospect of $3.50 weekly.
He finally decided to write a letter
to the head of his firm. Here is the
letter:
"Ifear Sir: Could you pleas? make
my salary a little higher? I don't
get any money for myself now- be
cause the family needs it all. I'll
promise to work very hard for it, and
surely the laborer is worthy of his

great confusion and excitement for a
time. It was a land to baud fight ;
bullets wen- living thick and fast.
Our gallant major was shot dead
while in the act of laising his sword
to strike a Yankee. Luckily, we had
a remmcnt of reserves not far away
I that rallied up, and the Yankees
were hastily driven lack. There had
been a number killed on both sides.
After iiict was restored, I began to
look around to see who of our com
pany had bum killed. The first I
noticed was the lifeless body of our
good old color bearer, Sargeant
Strain, a man whom all had learned
to like. Next was my friend, Isaac
Klliott. I leaned over him to see
where he was hit, and I found blood
oo.ing from a wound near his heart.
Isaac was a good fellow and a close
friend of mine.
A day or two later, in the after
noon, we were ordered to move
around and attack the Yankees in
their rear. We got around and were
soon fiercely engaged. The Yankees
gave lack and one of our Imys, see
ing them running, yelled out, "ion

the side of his head, and then it was,

and Moore fell .lead. We left the

physically a line looking man, and
one of the licst men of our company.
Night soon came on and we moved
back to our old iKisitioii at the breast
works, having lost fourteen of our
company that evening in Kiiieu,
wounded and captured.
