Abstract:

Eighty years before Boston's celebrated tea party, Brunswick's resistance to Britain took play in open daylight, was led by the most prominent men of the community, with arms in their hands, who defied His Majesty's governor, his navy, and his tax collectors. Today, Old Brunswick is a ghost town on the banks of the Cape Fear River.
