THE BATTLE OF KING’S MOUNTAIN
The volunteer army that fought at King’s Mountain October 7, 1780, puts us in mind of the three hundred Spartans under Leonidas who defended the pass of Thermopylae 2261 years earlier, or of the six hundred who rode into “the valley of death” at Baklaklava in the Crimean war. American history affords no other instance of a thousand frontiersmen coming together of their own free will to make themselves into a volunteer army. The only equipment of the soldier in that expedition was his trusty Dechard rifle with its accessories, his sure-footed mountain horse, and his pockeful of parched corn. These men knew little of professional warfare, but they did know how to keep tories and Indians from their settlement.
When Patrick Ferguson, England’s sharpshooter colonel, sent them word that unless they came on to join him and the king he would march over the mountains and hang everyone of them, they at once declared that they would have a voice in the matter. They determined to take care of him, and they performed their task effectually.
Another aspect of this notable expedition is worthy of remark. The returned soldiers had no time to wait for words of praise and promises of reward. They had to hurry back by the nearest path to their wives, children, and the old men and boys who were left to protect the settlements from Indians. They were just in time to beat off a thousand Indians who were on the march, having learned that the fighting men had gone to King’s Mountain.
At King’s Mountain these soldiers had trapped and annihilated a British army more numerous that themselves. Yet they came near being reprimanded by the Continental Congress for taking the warpath without express permission. If they had failed there might have been trouble, but all is well that ends well. So in time the state governments of Virginia and North Carolina and the central government as well gave official recognition to the leaders and men who gained one of the most momentous victories of the Revolution.
King’s Mountain battle took place at a time when the American cause was looking desperate. Failure after failure had come to the American arms in the South. The engagement at Musgrove’s Mill, about two months earlier, was indeed rather a victory for the wigs, some of the King’s Mountain men taking part in it. While trying to harass the British the Americans fell into a trap, yet they fought off their enemy and escaped with all the prisoners they had taken. Ferguson chased them to the Blue Ridge and then sent the insolent letter which caused his ruin.
The following is the letter to General Gates, comander in the South in the latter half of 1780, and found in the North Carolina Records. It was written by Colonels Shelby, Sevier, Cleveland, Campbell, Winston, and Hampton, who asked for trained officer to lead them.
Rutherford county, Camp near Gilbert Town October 4, 1780
Sir:
We have collected at this place about 1500 good men, drawn from Washington, Surry, Wilkes, Burk of North Carolina, and Washington County, Virginia, and expect to be joined in a few days by Colonel Williams of South Carolina with about a thousand more. As we have at this place called out Militia without any order from the executive of our different States, and with the view of expelling out of this part of the country the enemy, we think such a body of men worthy of your attention and would request to send a General Officer immediately to take the command of such troops as may embody in this quarter. Our troops being Militia, and but little acquainted with discipline, we would wish him to be a gentleman of address, and be able to keep a proper discipline, without disgusting the soldiery. Every assistance in our power shall be given the Officer you may think proper to take command of us. It is the wish of such of us as are acquainted with General Davidson, and Colonel Morgan (if in service) that one of these Gentlemen may be appointed to this command.
We are in great need of ammunition, and hope you will endeavor to have us properly furnished.
Colonel McDowell will wait on you with this, who can inform you of the present situation of the enemy, and such other particulars respecting our troops as you may think necessary.
Your most obediant and very able servants,
Benj. Cleveland
Isaac Shelby
John Sevier
Andw. Hampton
Wm. Campbell
Jo. Winston
At the close of the very day the above letter was written, Campbell was nominated by Shelby as temporary commander, on the ground that he was the only Virginian of regimental rank. During the next two days the leaders picked out the best men with the best horses and rifles, and then took Ferguson’s trail 910 strong. The men on foot and those with poor horses were told to follow.
In their rapid advance the mountain men could not spare time to deal with a large body of tories forming to join Ferguson. Passing this force they were joined at Cowpens by 60 men from Lincoln county under Colonel Hambright. They were also joined by an equal number of South Carolina men under Major Chronicle and by a band under Colonel Williams of the same state. During thrity-six hours the riflemen never alighted but once and then at Cowpens. They had little to eat but parched corn. A persistent rain made them wrap their guns and ammunition in sacks, blankets, and even their hunting shirts. It was necassary to keep their powder dry, even though their bodies were drenched by the cold downpour. When they at length caught up with Ferguson, they went into the fight with neither rest nor refreshment.
The battle lased only an hour. The haughty Ferguson was slain and his army wiped out of existence, though stationed on the flat summit of a low ridge.474
