Rocky Mount

“View at Rocky Mount. This view is from the garden-gate at Mrs. Barkley’s, looking northeast. On the left is seen part of a store-house, and on the right, just beyond the post with a pigeon-house, is a hollow, within which are the remains of houses. At the foot of the hill may still be seen the foundations of the house mentioned in the text as having been occupied by the British when attacked by Sumter. The small log buildings across the center, occupying the slope where the conflict occurred, are servants’ houses."—Lossing, 1851
