"In the fall of the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty, when the American cause wore a very gloomy aspect in the Southern States, Colonels Arthur and William Campbell, hearing of the advance of Colonel Ferguson along the mountains in the State of North Carolina... formed a plan to intercept him." -Ensign Robert Campbell On October 7, 1780, American Patriot and Loyalist soldiers battled each other at Kings Mountain, near the border of North and South Carolina. With over one hundred eyewitness accounts, this collection of participant statements from men of both sides includes letters and statements in their original form-the soldiers' own words- unedited and unabridged. Rife with previously unpublished details of this historic turning point in the American Revolution, these accounts expose the dramatic happenings of the battle, including new perspectives on the debate over Patriot Colonel William Campbell's bravery during the fight. Robert M. Dunkerly's work is an invaluable resource to historians studying the flow of combat, genealogists tracing their ancestors and anyone interested in Kings Mountain and the Southern Campaign.

This review is from: The Battle of Kings Mountain: Eyewitness Accounts (Paperback)
This collection of eyewitness accounts of the battle and its aftermath is quite good. It could have used a map of the battle and an overview of the campaign (not included) to make it 5 stars. When will the History Press quit using silly reenactor photos to illustrate books!?!??!

This review is from: The Battle of Kings Mountain: Eyewitness Accounts (Paperback)
The Battle of Kings Mountain by Robert M Dunkerly brings the battle to life with letters from people who eyewitness the battle. The problem I had was that the book that it repeats the same story from differnt people who saw the same things over and over again. I think that story leading to the battle and about the people that fought at Kings Mountain and the letters would have been move effective bring a more complete and interesting look into the battle. When you have such interesting people as Major Patrick Ferguson as the leader of Loyalist and Rebel leaders as Colonel Shelby, Colonel William Campbell the leader of the American forces, John Sevier and many other colorful men it would have made this book alot more interesting.
