Description
Excerpt from King''s Mountain and Its Heroes: History of the Battle of King''s Mountain, October 7th, 1780, and the Events Which Led to It
This worthy King''s Mountain Centennial very naturally excited much interest in the minds of the public regarding the battle itself, and its heroic actors, and prompted the writer to set about the preparation of his long-promised work. Beside the materials collected in former years - in ante bellum days - more than a thousand letters were written, seeking documents, traditions, description of historic localities, and the elucidation of Obscure statements. Old newspaper files of the Library of Congress, Philadelphia Library Company, and of the Maryland and the Wisconsin Historical Societies, have been carefully consulted, and information sought from every possible source in this country, England and the British Colonies. Truth alone has been the writer''s aim, and conclusions reached without prejudice, fear or favor.
