Kings Mountain Battle Remembered as War Heroic Victory
A historical recount notes the October 7 1780 King’s Mountain fight where frontier volunteers defeated Ferguson’s British force. It links the victory to a future national military park and a planned recreation area, honoring the patriots and their frontier allies who coordinated from Wilkes and Surrey counties to Shelby and Sevier. The piece stresses the battle’s strategic impact in the southern campaign and marks the area’s 10810 acre transfer into federal ownership for commemoration and public use.
