Abstract:
After the Civil War, Yadkin Valley (Caldwell, Alexander, and Wilkes Counties) suffered from the unlawfulness of thieves and rogues headed by a \"Captain\" Wade who established his headquarters in an old log house dubbed \"Fort Hamby.\" Men of Wilkes County came together to retaliate against the Fort. Some men escaped and some were promptly executed, but \"Captain\" Wade was never seen again.
