The Mecklenburg chapter in Charlotte welcomes back for the 4th year in a row, historical author and storyteller Randell Jones! You’ll delight in hearing Randell’s new story of “Saving Col. Williams,” which revolves around the SC Militia and the Lincoln County Militia at the Battle of Kings Mountain.
Randell’s telling of the story attempts to rectify the differing accounts of the role and motivations of Colonel James Williams with his known character, that of a true and courageous patriot.
Col. James Williams arrived at The Cowpens in command of the South Carolina militiamen and the men he had recruited in North Carolina. Williams was a valiant patriot. He had a long career of service during the Revolution and was one of the three commanders at the Battle of Musgrove’s Mill.
