"They Came Through Here" to Kings Mountain
23 N Central Ave, Belmont, NC 28012, USAState and regional Revolutionary War author and storyteller Randell Jones will be speaking on the newly revealed history about the SC militia and Lincoln County militia getting to the Battle of Kings Mountain. The Battle of Kings Mountain and Mecklenburg chapters invite you to attend.
The title of the presentation is “They Came Through Here,” and the presentation reveals the new footprints in Mecklenburg County and the Catawba Valley.
