Description:Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 7: December, 1902 In one of these letters he is referred to as Our noble Gover nor. We believe, however, that his rule was entirely satisfactory. Had it been otherwise, he would most probably have been driven out of the colony, as the people whom he was sent to govern never failed to offer resistance to tyranny in any form. One of Governor Drummond's first duties was to arrange the terms, on which the early settlers should hold the lands, of which they had taken possession. These settlers had established themselves in the Albemarle region some years before it was given to the Lords Proprietors. That Drummond should have been able to arrange matters to the satisfaction of settlers and Proprietors, is in itself a tribute to his wisdom, tact and ability. In 1667 Drummond returned to Jamestown, Va., to live. His life, for a few succeeding years, seems to have been a quiet one, for we hear no more of him until 1675, when the troubles in Vir ginia, known as Bacon's Rebellion, commenced. He then mani lested the characteristics of the liberty-loving Scots. Recognizing the justice of Bacon's resistance, he boldly joined him in open rebellion to the tyranny of the royal Governor. In making this choice, he was prompted by no hope of ultimate per sonal advantage. He realized that it was a matter of life or death for him and he was willing, if necessary, to sacrifice his own per sonal happiness for the vindication of his principles. His position and wealth, as well as his natural ability, gave him a place of prominence among the insurgents. He was the trusted counsellor of Bacon. It was perhaps due to his influence that the rebels chose Carolina as their watchword. It was Drummond who suggested the deposition of the Virginia Governor and offered to find precedent for it in the annals of that colony. He applied the torch to his own house lest it should afiord shelter to the royalists. In all his noble efforts he was ably sustained by his wife, Sarah Drummond, who in personal courage was not inferior to her hus band. Because of her active sympathy for his creed she was denounced by Berkeley as a wicked and notorious rebel.
