During the War for Southern Independence, there was a major cav battle on Bragg, three or four corps worth.
I looked it up on the current range map today. For those who know Bragg, north of Campbell's Crossroads, just south of Morganton Road, between Juniper Creek and Nicholson Creek. Battle of Monroe's Crossroads.
