Abstract:
William Tryon was a British soldier and colonial administrator who served as Governor of North Carolina during 1765 to 1771. His reputation began to fall in 1779 due to a series of allegedly depredatory raids he conducted and his views on desolation warfare. These raids marked the end of Tryon’s career as a field commander in the American Revolution.

Abstract:
The 1864 yellow fever epidemic in New Bern was exacerbated through ignorance and a reluctance to spread panic amongst the civilian population. The first signs of sickness were originally attributed to other diseases and efforts to contain the 'miasma' believed to cause the illness failed. Once the epidemic was contained through evacuation, a Confederate plot to initiate germ warfare was discovered. This led some to believe Dr. Luke Blackburn used contaminated clothing to start the sickness, but it is very unlikely that was the case.
