Abstract:

One of the most historic spots in southeastern North Carolina is Moore's Creek National Military Park, located in the southern part of Pender County, a place visited by thousands every year. It was here in 1776 that the Tory Scotch Highlanders were defeated by the Whigs, the first victory gained on North Carolina soil by American armies in the Revolution.
