Excerpt from West Virginia Lyrics This is claimed to have been the last battle in which the British flag was unfurled in the war of the Revolution. The men behind the palisades were hard pressed, yet they were greatly encouraged by their wives and daughters, who molded bullets and loaded the guns. After a time the powder became exhausted, when Elizabeth Zane, a pioneer girl of 18, performed the daring action alluded to in the verses. She ran to the blockhouse, forty yards distant, and tripped it back again, under the fire of the Indian guns, bearing in her apron a supply of powder - thus "rescuing the Fort."
