The King's Mountain Men

The Story of the Battle, with Sketches of the American Soldiers Who Took Part

Omschrijving

The Battle of King's Mountain, which occurred on October 7, 1780, was a decisive victory for the Americans in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolutionary War. This encounter lasted only 65 minutes and resulted in the total destruction of Major Patrick Ferguson's Loyalist militia force of over one-thousand men. This book is an important work on this engagement and of the Revolutionary Soldiers who participated. Information was collected from numerous sources, including records and documents from the various states and counties, correspondence, and the Draper Collection. This work is divided into two sections: Section One contains chapters on the Battle of King's Mountain; the Watauga and Its Records; General John Sevier; Draper and Martin Letters; Diary of Captain Alexander Chesney; Pension Declarations; Militia Rosters; and various other topics. Section Two consists of Personal Sketches of approximately 1,000 King's Mountain Soldiers; Tennessee Revolutionary Pensioners List; a Bibliography; and an Index.
