Note 1085 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

This is given entire by Moultrie, who presided over the court (Memoirs, i. 337-354. The finding of the court is on p. 353). The assertion of Lossing that Ashe was acquitted "of every charge of cowardice and deficiency of military skill" is not correct, as the court expressly stated that it was of the opinion that "Ashe did not take all necessary precautions." There is a "Sketch" of Ashe's career in North Carolina University Magazine, iii. pp. 201-208 and 366-376.
