Abstract:
Plans to exhume the remains of Peter Stuart Ney, said to be Napoleon's famous Marshal Ney, who was buried in Rowan County in 1846, were reported in an earlier article in The State. The legend of Marshal Ney was that he was not executed in France in 1815, but escaped to the United States where he taught school in Rowan County, North Carolina. Dusen presents arguments that refute this idea.
