How do you pronounce "Tryon"?

[Mister Ridge]

I joined here because I had a lot of questions about my newly acquired Pedersoli. I'm managing to aquire most of my needed information through back reading but there is one question I'd like a quick answer to. How should I pronounce Tryon?

The American/English manner is exactly like it is spelled: try-on or, in the backcountry try-un.

Lord Tryon was governor of His Majesty's Colony of Carolina(North Carolina) until he put down the regulators and got promoted to New York.

Now see if you can pronounce capote properly.

Have you ever read the old English broadside headline about the beheading of Louis the 16th? For some reason your post on Kuh-Pohtie reminded me of it.
