What you’re looking at

# Page Description This is a page of running prose (page 178) from a Victorian penny dreadful titled *Tom Anderson, Dare-Devil*. The text describes Civil War military action, including Ferguson's failed pursuit of Clark's Georgians and a subsequent British bayonet attack on mountaineers at King's Mountain. It then shifts to a scene where General Sumter introduces his aide, Colonel Wemyss (nicknamed "Dare-Devil" for his reckless gallantry), to Tom Anderson. The passage ends with Unaka, appearing to be Cherokee, arriving to speak with Tom in Cherokee language. A final paragraph mentions Tarleton and Blackstock's house, suggesting the narrative will continue on the next page.
