Several narrated stories from the French & Indian war on you-tub. One particular one comes from a lone survivor of Colonials under Col. William Crawford (the lone survivor escaped and made it all the way back to a long distant fort to tell the tale).
Crawford endured days of torture, burning, cuttings, scalping, and finally burned alive, testified by this survivor.
The tale is riveting and horrifying. Another history piece comes from the writing of Hank Messick (famous for his biography of Meyer Lansky, and many other organized crime history writing as a journalist.), born in Happy Valley, NC (site of Rev. War General Lenoir’s preserved home).
The book : “King’s Mountain: The Epic of the Blue Ridge Mountain Men in the American Revolution” describes the OverMountain Men, the winning of the battle of King’s Mountain by backwoodsmen, led by Sevier of TN— and the destruction of the entire command and commander of Brit Major Patrick Ferguson of the 71st Regiment of Foot. A truly gripping accurate historical rendering of the events before during and after. An All American battle that was for certain.
Thanks for those.
If reparations are charged for people in 2025 for the losses of people in the 1700’s-1860’s then should Elizabeth Warren be charged today for war crimes of her people?
