During the Revolutionary War, at the Battle of King's Mountain, a British officer, Major Ferguson, in full dress uniform and riding a white stallion, was killed while leading the British forces. This battle was the “turning point” of the Revolutionary War. Afterwards, the Revolutionary Army gave the stallion to their commanding officer, Colonel Cleveland, who lived on on a farm bisected by a small creek just west of Ronda, N.C. Many years later, the people who lived in this area began seeing an apparition of a white stallion with a fully uniformed British officer waving a sword as if in battle from time to time. After a few sightings, the creek became known as “Booger Boo Creek.” Over the couple of hundred years since that time, the name became “Bugaboo Creek.” We thought this an appropriate name for our really fine red blend.
