N.C. Miscellany’s Washington correspondent (a Tar Heel who, by circumstance, is forced to live in exile) shares this bit of news with us: William Richardson Davie’s sword has returned to Salisbury.

He’s credited with a few other notable achievements, too. How many can you name before you check out the link above?
