Historic Confederate Home Torn Down in North Carolina


From the July 24, 2018, WDBJ Channel 7, CBS, news.

The home of Lt. Robert Bond Vause, killed at the battle of Fort Anderson in 1862, has been torn down.  It was also the headquarters of Confederate General Robert Ranson, Jr..

It was seriously in disrepair and would have cost too much to repair.

It was in the Wyse Fork Battlefield in Kinston and once a candidate for the NRHP but no longer met the requirements.
