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.
