M1860 Colt Revolver of Charles McKinney Roberts
« on: June 07, 2010, 03:28:24 PM »

Born in Buncombe County, in the Mountains of North Carolina, Charles McKinney Roberts initially supported the Union strongly and spoke out against secession. Like many former unionists, Roberts cast his fate with his native state when North Carolina left the United States. During counterguerrilla operations in Madison County, Roberts was mortally wounded by a Union sympathizer on September 27, 1864, and died the next day.
