There's a host of interesting characters in those parts of the woods....Lawrence Allen, Goldman Bryson, James Keith, Keith Blalock, Daniel Ellis, G.W. Kirk, Tim Lyons, J.J. Kirkland and.... Robert Teague.

Robert Teague is the man that the villain in Cold Mountain is based on. Whose name was of course Teague. In the movie, Teague and the Home Guard kill three men who are hiding in the woods. The men are musicians. Teague demands that they play a tune. One of the men plays Bonaparte's' Retreat...doing it so well that even Teague is moved, none the less he has all three men lined up and shot. They were left where they fell. Their family came out at night and buried them. While many incidents in the movie have been changed around, this happen as stated.
