On an overcast, somewhat cool day, members
of a number of Patriotic organizations gathered together on "The Mountain"
to commemorate the battle that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War
in the South. Afer a bitter defeat at Camden, the Patriots desparately
needed a victory to revitalize their fighting spirit. It was delivered
to them at Kings Mountain. As the pictures below attest, a grateful
nation will long remember their deeds through the efforts of the DAR, CAR,
SAR, Sons of the Revolution, Colonial Dames XVII Century, the NC Society
of the Order of Founders and Patriots, and the Georgia 30 Society. Organized
by the Marquis de Lafayette Chapter, NCSSAR, the ceremony well and faithfully
upheld the tradition of patriotic pride in the founding of our nation.
