In 1790, Fanning wrote The Narrative of Colonel David Fanning, which would first see print in 1861 in Richmond, Virginia, then the capital of the Confederate States of America. North Carolina historian Samuel A'Court Ashe wrote that Fanning was "one of the most extraordinary men evolved by the Revolutionary War", but Fanning's calculated and sometimes brutal methods during that conflict have left him with a controversial legacy. WebDavid Fanning was born to a landowning farmer in Virginia, but his father drowned, and the family moved to what now is Wake County. Then his mother died when he was around age 9. He eventually became a ward of a county justice, who neglected Fanning to the point that he got a disease leaving him bald for life.
