She was then landlady of the principal hotel in Salisbury, and lived between the post-office and the comer now occupied by Shafler's tavern, a few steps north of the court-house. While the. American army, under General Greene, was retreating before Comwallis, in the memorable and successftil effort to con- vey to Virginia the prisoners taken by Morgan in the battle of the Cowpens, the line of march embraced Salisbury. While Com- wallis was crossing the Catawba, Greene was approaching this vil- ...lage. Dr. Reed, who had charge of the sick and wounded pri- soners, was sitting in an apartment of Mrs. Steele's tavern, over- looking the main street, writing paroles for such British officers as were imable from sickness and debihty to proceed farther, when he saw the general, unaccompanied by his aides or a single individuial, ride up to the door. " How do you find yourself, my good general ?" eagerly inquired the doctor. " Wretched beyond measure," repUed Greene, as, exhausted, he slowly dismounted from his jaded horse — ** without a friend — without money — and destitute even of a com- panion," — ^his aides having been dispatched to different parts of the retreating army.
