BATTLE OF KINGS MOUNTAIN.
a Thrilling story of q BacIswoods Contl-
mental Army In 1880.

One of the decisive battles of the
revolution, marking the turning
point in the long warfare waged for
the possession Of the Sout fern
States, was fought and won solely
by volunteer levies of backwoods
riHemen from the mountains lying
along the western edge Of Virginia
and North Carolina.
This was the battle called Kings
Mountain.
In 1850 the whole South lay at
the feet of the British forces under
their ablest general, Lord Corn
wallis. Georgia and South Caro-
lima had been completely crushed;
the continental army under Gates
had suffered one of the most deci-
sive oyerthrows Of the whole war,
and Corvallis two active and Wig
orous lieutenants Tarleton, the
dragon, and Ferguson, the rifle
man at the head of their troops of
horse and foot had smashed and
broken all Of the scattering Amer
lean bands which still endeavored
to carry on a partisan warfare.
Then CORVALLIS marched north
ward into North Carolina, Tarleton
and Ferguson moving separately
from him SO that they might the
better overrun the whole State and
crush out all opposition. There
was scarcely a semblance of an or
gained force against him. The
cause of independence seemed lost
III the Southern States.
1t was at this moment that the
mountaineersstruck and killed Fer
guson at Kings Mountain, captur-
ed all his force, and thereby obliged
l CORVALLIS to withdraw from North
| Carolina, and gave to the American
Irregular forces the breathing spell
which was absolutely necessary to
allow them to gather strength for q
! renewal of the contest.
When the British moved into
North Carolina, Ferguson, singu-
larly gallant and intrepid partisan
leader, and man well-known fol-
his personal prowess and skill with
the rife, was assigned to the com
mand Of the western force. This
body Of soldiers was to arouse the
Torymilitia and to hurry the Wings
Of the back country.
He had with him a small regular
regiment, but most Of the force con
sisted Of the Tory militia. Some
Of them were colonial born, Will,
others were Scotch and Englisl
emigrants.
He pushed his victories up to tn
foot Of the Great Smoky Mountain
and there he heard, probably 70
the first time, of the scattered WhiI
settlements of frontier hunters an,
backwoodsmen which. lay beyon,
the mountains -on the Wataug
and the Holstein.
Bodies Of rifemenf from these sci
Elements had, on more than one OF
casion, crossed the mountains to til
help eff their brethren the no
cowed and beaten Whigs-in til
more settled country, and Ferguso
sent word to the Watauga peop-
that if they dared to repeat the
conduct he would come among the
and would put their homes to IL
torch and their leaders to theswor
So far from being frightened |
this threat the fierce and hard
backwoodsmen were merely arou
ed thereby to point of furious a
ger. Gathering under the famol
frontier leaders, Colonels Sevit
and Shelby, they made ready
march against Ferguson.

men, instantly renewing the assault.
After three such charges the Brit
ish infantry became SO cut up that
it could not risk another, while the
Tories ON the hilltop were also suf-
fering heavily from the marksman-
ship of the veteran Indian fighters
against whom they were pitted, and
began to yieldand shrink away from
the crests of the hill. Immediately
the backwoodsmen, pushing forward
with yells of triumph, crowded the
summit and began to fire into the
huddled mass Of British and Tories
who were crowded together around
the baggage wagons.
Ferguson, fastening to and fro,
calling to his men asilverw his-
tie, was recognized by his foes, and
fell pierced by FIVE balls in a mo-
ment. For a few minutes the fight
continued; then, as the backwoods-
men rushed once more, the British
and Tories threw down their arms.
| Owing to their superior marks
manship, and to the fact that the
hill was easier attacked with the
rifle than defended with the bayo-
net, the backwoodsmen lost only in
. the neighborhood of one hundred
men, while their foes had between
J three and four times that number
| killed and wounded.
The struggle which wasthen wsg-
ing was of a ferocious character and
, was marked by many dark and
/ bloody deeds on both sides; and in
} retaliation for a number of Wings
who had recently been hanged, the
victorious backwoodsmen put nine
| of their Tory prisoners to death, anc
doubtless would have slain more

woods mountaineers OF Southwest
Virginia under Colonel Campbell,
and after crossing the mountains by
steep and precipitate defiles they
met and united with another body
of militia under Colonel Cleveland.
They then moved toward the foe,
the march at first being regulated
by a council Of all the backwoods
colonies; but finding that the coun-
Gil tended to produce indecision
among the officers and insubordina-
ton among the men, they finally
elected Campbell to serve as acting
commander,
They had now gathered to the
number of over two thousand and
marched straight for Ferguson.
The latter was warned Of their
approach, and having but l, l00men
with him, he retreated by easy
stages, sending out couriers to rally
to him all the Tory militia Of the
neighborhood. He warned them
in a stirring address that the back
woodsmen had crossed the noun
tains and would surely show no
mercy to those who had been loyal
to the king, and that if they did not
wish to be forever crushed by the
most cruel foes they must rally to
strike for their lives.
At the same time he kept falling
back so as to be within easy sup
porting distance of Tarleton; and
as the American militia were still
a long distance from him he would
surely make his escape had not the
backwoods leaders decided to pick
out the choice Of their men, and by
riding night and day strike him be-
fore he could be re-enforced.
Accordingly, a thousand picked
men were chosen. They started on
the long ride by night and by day
toward their foes, Campbell, and
Cleveland, and Sewer and Shelby
riding in the front ranks.
They threaded their way through
the forests, forded rivers and cross.

Ferguson had chosen for his camp
a long, steep, hog-back hill called
Kings Mountain. On its summit
he had pitched his camp and drawn
up his baggage wagons, defantly

Frank released her hands sudden

breast, gazed at her for while,
with strange expression in his
eyes.

moved voice, 1--WE will not say good

She gave him quick, startled
look, then a faint smile passed over
her lips.
"4ou mean you will not take the
money!" she whispered.
"Yes; unless unless, Mia,
take my wife with it.
A dead silence followed his words,
during which he remained steadfast-
ly regarding her, while she, with
downcast eyes and heaving breast,
hesitated.
I Presently, with a sweet, tremu-
lous light Oh her face, she moved
nearer to him and laid both hands
upon his breast.
"You will take the money, Frank"

"Yes."
He put his arms gently around
her, and bending his head pressed
his lips to hers. In the eloquent
pause which followed that caress,
they looked into each others eyes
with sort of timid wonder, and
new ecstacy awakened it both their
hearts. At last Frank whispered:
"Nita-my wife, you will never
leave me now?"
And Mia softly answered:
"Never."
