Law at Balaam's Cross Roads in Old North Carolina
At Balaam's Cross Roads in Cumberland County in 1845 a warrant targets Bob Yancy for assault on Dave Blount. Charley Balaam, Uncle Sammy, and Bruce Carrington arrive with residents gathering to back Yancy or Blount. The court sides with Yancy, noting Fayetteville authority is too intrusive and costs fall on Blount.
