Abstract:
This is the first in a series of articles about women who have played dramatic and interesting roles in the history of North Carolina. The author describes an incident in the Revolutionary War when Gen. Nathanial Greene, weary, despondent, and lacking money for his troops, arrives at the Salisbury inn of Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell Steele. Mrs. Steele, an ardent patriot, gave the general two bags of gold and silver, her entire life savings, so that he and his men could continue the fight for independence.
