Sloan St. Telephone 833-2464 There is a familiar poem about the American Revolution that mentions the New England farm ers who “fired the shot heard ’round the world." The struggle for Independence was underway, and the story still causes hearts to skip a beat; Seldom do you read of the "turning of the tide" against the British here in South Caro lina, eventually leading to the ultimate victory of the Revolu- iton. Two decisive battle were fought at Kings Mountain and the Cowpens, which put Britain’s great General Cornwallis “on the run” and led finally to his sur render at Yorktown In 1781. You can visit these historic battlefields in the northeastern part of the state, within easy reach of Gaffney and Spartan burg. Cowpens National Battle field site is located 11 miles northwest of Gaffney, at the in tersection of State Highways 11 and 110. Kings Mountain Nation al Military Park is off State Highway 161, a few miles north of York, nearly to the state line. It is best to visit both battle fields in order to have “a com plete picture" of the thrilling events that occurred here more than 180 years ago. The victory at Kings Mountain came at the right time, for the American patriots were feeling pangs of defeat and despair. In 1778, the British were encouraged by Loyalist sympathies in the South, and marched, virtually unchallenged, through Georgia and parts of South Carolina. By 1779, General Cornwallis and his forces controlled most of South Carolina. His plans for invasion of North Carolina were only de layed until the humiliating defeat of American forces under Gen eral Gates near Camden, in Au gust, 1780. The British had not counted on the stubborn and freedom-loving nature of the farmers and moun taineers of the Southern Appa lachians. When threatened with direct attack by the British, these country folks” of northwestern South Carolina and western North Carolina reacted with a vengeance. In a bloody encounter at Kings Mountain on October 1, 1780, they managed to complete ly defeat (he British force, under comand of Major Patrick Fergu son. The Revolutionaries tasted vic tory, and with soaring spirits went on to defeat a major British force at Cowpens on January 17, 1781. Hundreds of men were lost jy the British as casualties or prisoners, while the American forces, under General Daniel Morgan, lost only 12 men. The course of history was changed; those who wavered in sympathies became decidedly an ti-British, people were more out spoken in their feelings, and the Mrs. Shirley Nelson is conva lescing at home after being a pa- tinet at Bailey Memorial Hos pital for several days.
