Mary,
The Battle of Kings Mountain is well known in my area of SC (or at least I thought it was). I have a brochure on it
somewhere. Have to find it.
Are you familiar with the Battle of NInety Six? I have an article on it also.
You can read a little about it on my website below (1st one).

I have just begun to read about the Battle of King's Mountain......and this
is a great story. I never heard of it until I got into searching for my
family. This was a great battle - and it begins to look to me it had an
effect on why Cornwallis surrendered - plus a little thing like being
surrounded from the land by Washington and from the sea by the French fleet,
and his own fleet taking off. .... Okay, there were several factors, but it
sure seems King's Mountain has to be considered.

I said something to my daughter about it, she is going to be a history
teacher, and she had never heard about it. That is kind of scary.

Speaking of books....can anyone tell me the name of the book about the woman
captured by Indians at Draper Meadows who later escaped, in her old age she
told her story. I cannot remember if she was a Draper or an Ingles. this
was early on frontier of VA. I read it a long time ago, would like to read
it again. Does anyone know the book I am talking about?

Mary
