KINQ8 MOMNTAIN BATTLEFIELD HAS BTRAI)lpE MARKER Tho Rattle oMuigl ifoiiutftln was fought ftt Kings Mountain In South Carolina on tho afternoon of October 7, 1780 under the leadership of Colonel Campbell. Isaac Shelby and Jchn Sevier with a fovye consisting of 910 men from the back country of tho ! Carolines, Georgia, Virginia and the settlement of what la now eaatern Tennessee. The British force was led by Colonel 1'atr^ok Ferguson of the Seventy-First llltfhiftjul Light infantry Regiment, and nla command consisted of 11.000 regulars and mllltla. This was tho v Battle of the Colohel'a" and studenta Of history state that It was one tho decisive battles In the American Revolution. It is a well known fact that the battle monument, erected at' the highest point In tho batt left edicts erected Jointly by the States of N%rth and j South Carolina. This Is known as) "Centennial Monument" and Is mount-! ed on a base consisting of four steplike terraces. At a lower point near the other end' of the battlefield stands the beautiful obelisk erected by the United States j Government In 1909 at a cost of $30,000. Many South Carolina citi- } zens attended the Sesqul-Centennial celebration of this battle held on tho battlefield October 7. 1930. Herbert Hoover, who was then President, gave the welcoming address. South Carolina's Poet Laureate Archibald Rutledge rendered the original poem 'The Battle of Kings Mountain." Near the foot of the mountain thero is a small stone to mark the spot where Ferguson fell, but for many years his grave was marked with a pile of stones, and it is said that they were put there because of the fact the grave Is located in a hollow and at one time the bones were exposed due to the erosion of the soil. However, a beautiful monument marks Freguson's grave and this monument was erected because of the activities of three citizens of Charlotte. North Carolina. Colonel T. L. Klrkpatrlck, one of the leading lawyers at the Charlotte bar. wrote the Inscription for the Ferguson monument. C. O. Kuester. Business Manager of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, had a prominent part in the erection of this monument but to Mr. R. E. Scoggins of Charlotte must be given the credit for donating and erecting this excellent monument. The strange part about It is that the monument does not have a single word on it regarding who donated it. who wrote the inscription nor does It say one word about who was responsible for its erection. The monument. In addition to being beautiful, Is quite unusual in that the names of the donors are lacking. Most monuments advertize the donors almost as much as the deeds of the persons honored. However. Mr. Kuester. when pressed for information. stated "You might say that as Chairman of the Great Celebration, while 1 have itad thirty-five years of experience In public work, never did I receive such one hundred percent cooperation on the part of South Carolina, from the Governor of the Great State down. Genoral Cozier of Columbia' did a most marvelous job in helping me. "I Just wanted all the South Carolina folks to know about this and 1 would like to say that especially did York County. South Carolina do more than their part." South Carolina owes Colonel KirkPatrick. Mr. Scoggins and Mr. Kuester a debt of gTatitude for their interest and generosity in placing this appropriate monument on the Kings Mountain Battlefield which adjoins the 7,000 area used by the State Forest Service for Its summer camps. Germany has set up batteries of long range guns on the French coast and claims that some of the guns can shell London, 90 miles distant.
