Barony of Blounts and a Yancy feud in 1850s North Carolina
In a Cumberland County court scene set at the Barony of Blounts, Yancy faces an assault charge after Dave Blount accuses him of beating him in Scratch Hill. Uncle Sammy and locals rally to Yancy's defense as the sheriff, magistrate, and Cross Roads crowd weigh the warrant and the order from Fayetteville. Betty May, Hannibal, and Miss Totty bid farewell as Yancy contemplates leaving for west Tennessee, while the county debates loyalty to the Yancys versus Blounts.
