Is A Revolutionary War Cannon Ball For Your Consideration. Found Less Than Two Miles From The Flora MacDonald Historical Marker Near Pekin NC W About 800 Highlanders Were Armed By Allan MacDonald, Flora MacDonald And Alexander McCleod, Trained And Marched To Cross Creek To Meet British Regulars, Then To Their Defeat At The Battle Of Moore's Creek Bridge Early In The Revolution, Feb, 1776, Thus Leading NC To Be The First Colony To Sign The Declaration Of Independence. is a list of items taken by the Minutemen after the defeat. "T fell into the hands of the Americans besides eight hundred and fifty prisoners, fifteen hundred rifles, all of them excellent pieces, three hundred and fifty guns and shot bags, one hundred and fifty swords and dirks, two medicine chests, immediately from England, one valued at £300 sterling, thirteen wagons with horses, a box of Johannes and English guineas, amounting to about $75,000."Over Four And a Half Pounds and nearly 3 1/4 diameter solid shot. is your chance to have a real piece of American History. This year get a piece of history that may have dictated the outcome of the entire war. These supplies, had they made it to the British would have meant early doom for the Southern Colonies, yet after the defeat, NC was war free until Nathanael Greene took over and lured Cornwallis out of SC and to his ultimate surrender. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. I have sold several of these and will list more soon.

NO PayPal!Thank You! Another theory has come up that these may be American and part of the supplies of General Nathaniel Greene when he took charge of the Southern Army. I'm researching now and have found General Greene followed the road past the cannon ball site at least two times as can be found in The American Heritage Book Of The Revolution. are links supporting the theory; /hawthorne/chapter-21.htm /display.php?author=southworth&book=builders2&story=greene /49february1781.html http://www./dna/h2g2/alabaster/A595208 /hobkirk/secondary.aspx /kimocowp/greene.htm These could be American or French since Greene was chased by Cornwallis across NC in The Race To The Dan and The Battle Of Guilford Courthouse. Cornwallis got to within a mile of Greene several times just to be lured further.Greene came back and cleaned out South Carolina and crossed the cannon ball area again.We may never know exactly why these cannon balls were buried or by who, but as can be seen in my feedback, buyers are happy to get these pieces of freedom. The perfect gift, or, a must have for the serious collector. These clean up nice as seen in the picture. Always glad to clean one for you. NO PAYPAL! I usually ship same day USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. I Will Ship Up To Four With No Additional Postage. This Auction Is For One Cannon Ball! Thank You!
