KINGS MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL
ROLL BARES PATHETIC TALE
Soldier Who Knew He Would Die Twice
Deserted, but Was Returned and Fell
in Action, Officer Says.

thetic tale vouched for by Col. Samuel
Hammond OF Georgia, one of the heroes
of Kings Mountain.
One of the men in his command was
soldier who had fought bravely in
many battles. On the march to Kings
Mountain, this soldier had a PRESENT.
ment that he would be killed in the
ensuing conflict. So strong was the
feeling that he slipped away from his
comrades while the battle was in
progress, and wrapping himself in his
blanket concealed himself in the dark
forest. He was missed, sought for.
found, and obliged to take his place
at the front.
Still influenced by the feeling of
impending disaster, he again stole
away, was again discovered, dragged
from his hiding place, and returned to
the front line. This time he yielded
to his fate and resolved to do his
duty.
Very soon after, while fighting bravely
he was struck by bullet in the fore
head and killed. Col. Hammond, who
learned later of the circumstances
deeply regretted having compelled the
man to take part in the battle against
his convictions. His name was with
held for fear that the stigma of
cowardice might rest upon it.
