Abstract:
Perhaps no county in North Carolina suffered more intense devastation during the Civil War than Martin County. Foster's Raid occurred on November 2, 1862. According to a contemporary, personal property losses amounted to nearly two million dollars. A battle initiating at Rawles Mill carried on into Williamston with severe wreckage and plunder and the burning of a portion of the town of Hamilton.
