King’s Mountain Battle Site Now in Federal Purchase Plan
Fifteen decades after the Battle of King’s Mountain on October 7 1780 a small frontiersmen force defeated British loyalists on a flat topped hill in South Carolina. The federal government plans a national military park and a state recreation area around the site. The 10 310 acres near the hill are to be acquired by the United States.
