Abstract:

A series of newspaper articles are presented concerning Governor Tryon's reputation after he lost the Battle of Alamance on May 16, 1771 and was appointed Governor of New York. These select letters submitted to various newspapers demonstrate North Carolinians dogged loyalty to Governor Tryon despite criticism from others who viewed him as a dictator.
