I iK lit at Sulphur Sprints l)urinj'. that evening Col. l.ove brought up his command near town, and Thomas' Indians came Irom Jackson county and encamp ed near Dellvvood. surrounding the federals. An exchange of shots near the Sulphur Springs Hotel ended vvilh one Union soldier kill ed, and llarlletl asked for a two day truce. The southerners granted the truce aid the Union commander used lhe two days to make con tact, with the infamous renegade raider. Col. Kirk, whose force was just over the lialsams. However, on the evening of May 9th the Con federate forces moved into closer contact and began lighting numer ous camplires around the mountain sides to indicate a stronger force than exisled. These with the war whoops of the Indians, put the northern troops in an uneasy frame of mind. On the morning of Hie 10th, Cols. Thomas and Love, escorted by 20 painted and feathered Indians and several husky Confederate soldiers, entered the Yankee line and de manded their surrender. Thomas promised to turn the Clierokees loose and scalp the whole regiment. Barllett asked for a consultation to make peace. The Surrender In the discussion that followed in the old Battle house on Main street, it was agreed that since I.ee and Johnston bad surrendered that news being confirmed- the two groups would cease hostilities.! Hartlelt and Kirk removed their I troops to Asheville and Thomas ' and l.ove disbanded theirs. Thus ended the last fighting between organized forces in North Carolina. lhe Indian legion, it was noted, was allowed to keep their arms. Hot h groups returned to their homes and began to work on their larms. the Indians lhe most peace able of all. Soro (iap .Marker Historical marker I' 7 reads WUaiia MouiHlarv .
