Moore County Tales of War and Plunder Echoes
The narrative recalls the pursuit and execution of rebels in Moore County. Attacking houses near Piney Bottom and Flora MacDonald’s daughters’ visit, the party routs families to safety, loots chests of china and books, and rejects removing Black’s family due to smallpox. A tense scene unfolds with a family’s pleas and a near miss from a rifle as men scatter to multiple farms.
