The proposed interstate from La Grange to Dover brings historians, the NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the US Army Corp of Engineers together to balance preserving the history of Wyse Fork Battlefield with infrastructure progress.
When Dennis Harper was 11 years old, he became fascinated with the Wyse Fork Battlefield. His first discovery was “a perfect Williams Cleaner.” The Williams Cleaner was a bullet designed so the discharge of the musket would drive the concave disks of the bullet forward, expanding the lead bullet against the interior walls of the rifled barrel to remove residue left by other rounds. Dennis has collected more than 15,000 artifacts from the battlefield over decades.
