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.

The window, located on the roof of the William B. Blades House, offered an extensive look into history. It had a bird’s eye view of the Great Fire of 1922, trio of hurricanes, Tryon Palace’s construction, the Bicentennial celebration, and election of the town’s first black mayor. Nationally famous figures referenced by this poem’s fifth grade author included Babe Ruth, President Harry S. Truman, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
