LezustRarians and a Squire's Warrant
In North Carolina on May 24 1835 a warrant from magistrate De Lancy Balaam targets Robert Yancy for a purported assault on David Blount. The community gathers at Scratch Hill Cross Roads to support Yancy as Uncle Sammy and locals weigh authority versus local honor. The squire rules that Yancy may have acted on Blounts order or in response to provocation, reflecting frontier law and kinship bonds.
