Abstract:
When General William Lee Davidson was killed in February 1781 in Mecklenburg County during the American Revolution, British soldiers stole his wallet. Years later it turned up in Great Britain's Public Records Office. In 2000, North Carolina \"colonials\" prevailed upon the British for its return. In July 2001, the wallet was placed in the General Davidson exhibit in the museum at the Guilford Courthouse National Park in Greensboro.
