r.iic conduct ’in the battle, all com
bine to render his s; nices, at that
critical period, of the.greatest impor

gave a vote of thanks to C dotfcl Shel

id to him,
Shelby Joins Green.
It appears that at the end'of the
Kim Mountain expedition, Colonel
Shelby returned to h>s home on the
llolston, and tve hear nothing of any
I activities for about a year, hut it is
handy probable that a man of his pa
|t rid ism and devotion to tlvc cause,
[would have remained idle so long, at
'• ueh a critical period. In October, 1781
: General Greene wrote ail urgent let
ter to Shelby, requestin'; that he join
; him with a body of mountaineers, but
; the letter miscarried. A . "<ond letter
|was. ■ ueyersful, and Shelby and Se
vier led fivi hundred mounted i ifle
| men over the mountain . joining
i Greene about the fir-a of November.
Johnson in his Life of Greene says:
“L was not until Ortulwir that Ger
Afill Greene war- ehl to replace. tin
six-pounders, lost at the Kutaws; Col
| ends Shelby and Sevier also, joined
i him about the same tint*?, with five
| hundred men, and a detachment of one
j hundred and sixty North Carolina re
cruits was addl'd to his infantry. The
approach of the corps was the signal
tor preparing for active movements;
the weathir had become cold; the
fro. 1 had delivered Ins army from the
remains of their agues; the
survivors
jof his wounded had rejoined their re
giments and the .corps under .Sumter
Horry, Mayhem, and Marion, had been
I collected, or were concentrating.”
: “Sevier and Shelby, Horry and May
hem, were ordered to place t hem: elves
j under Marion, to act in the country
j between lh - Santee and Charleston.

1 he legislature soon adjourned, and
Colonel Shelby returned to the Hoik-,
ton. When (he spring came on he be
gan the work of preparation for all ex
pedition against the C’niekamauga
hand of the Cherokees, and the hostile
Creeks. In this enterprise he was to
have been joined by two hundred men
from Washington county, Virginia;
but, on account of the impoverished
condition of that state, the authorities!
discouraged the undertaking; there
fore, when Shelby reached Big Creek.
dO miles below Long Island of Mois

In ITS/, he was. again chosen a
member of the North Carolina assent,

the ennintistvioner to adjust ,-ome pre

river, and lay off the lands alloted to
tin officers and soldiers of North Car

the following concerning J. B. Duke's
blank relative to extending the P. &

knows for n fact that Mr. Duke has
any such thing in his mind. “It is
known that more than a million dol
'ars in cash have recently been swap

orange count es and that options
which, if availed, would call for a
million or so more have been taken.
There has been the purchase in one
