Sycamore Shoals Celebration by Judge Ed Butler
SYCAMORE SHOALS CELEBRATION Johnson City, TN Sep. 16 – 18, 2009 From Sycamore Shoals, they rode their horses over the mountains until they met up with Lt. Col. Frederick Hambright, leader of the Lincoln Co., N.C. militia at Cowpens, SC, along with other groups from Virginia, Georgia, Virginia and South Carolina. From the 1,100 some men, the leaders selected just over 900 men with the best horses for the Oct. 7, 1780 attack of Ferguson, who was dug in atop Kings Mountain. They rode for 36 straight hours, then entered the battle immediately upon their arrival at Kings Mountain. Their victory was the turning point in the American Revolutionary War. We were here to commemorate these brave Over The Mountain Men. Ronnie Lail was Chairman. In addition to the 20 some color guardsmen, most of whom were dressed as backwoodsmen, there was a 10 man fife and drum corps. There were about 60 participants in the grand stands. It was a bright sunny day. After the formalities were over, I was introduced. Before I gave my remarks, I presented a Meritorious Service Medal to to John Echerd. My remarks were as follows: It is a pleasure to return to my original home state. Just a few miles from here on the banks of the Watauga River is the town of Butler. Although my direct Butler ancestors migrated directly from Montgomery Co., NC, my collateral ancestors settled this nearby community. To talk about the events we commemorate today, we must examine what had been going on. The patriots suffered a huge defeat at Charleston, only to be followed by another English victory at Camden. -

HISTORY of the QUEEN's RANGERS By
€x iLibrig JOHN CHANCELLOR BOYLEN FROM THE TRANSACTIOXS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES— 1908-1909 V^OLUME II SECTION Ij HISTORY OF THE QUEEN'S RANGERS By JAMES HANNAY, D.C.I.. OTTAWA PRINTED FOR '^HE ROYAL SOOIETY OB' CANADA, 1909 — Section II., 1908. [123] Trans. R. S. C. IV. History of the Queen's Rangers. By James Hannay, D.C.L. (Read May 26, 1908.) I. Of the forty or more battalions of Loyalists which enlisted in the service of the Crown during the Eevolutionary war, none has been so widely celebrated as the Queen's Eangers. This, no doubt, is partly due to the fact that they found a historian in Lieut.-Col. Simcoe, their com- manding officer, who wrote a book to chronicle their achievements; yet after making all allowance for this advantage, it must be admitted, with- out detriment to the other Loyalist corps, that the Queen's Eangers ex- ceeded them all in length and variety of service. What the famous Light Division was in Wellington's Peninsular Campaigns. the Queen's Eangers became to the British army in America ; whenever there was an enterprise that demanded celerity and daring, the Queen's Eangers were selected for the service, if they happened to be at all near the place where it was to be performed. Their six years of active service in the war made them veterans, and their peculiar organization enabled them to ac- complish feats which would have been quite beyond the power of an ordinary battalion of the line. -

The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780
The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780 Image Courtesy of National Park Planner at www.npplan.com © 2015 – J.D. Lewis www.carolana.com Note #1 Most who study the Battle of Kings Mountain are certainly aware that the Patriot leaders made a smart choice in leaving the “infantry” behind, and for only “able horsemen” to ride on. What they intuitively “know” – but seem to fail to thoroughly “embrace” is: Almost all “officers” had good horses. Therefore…. Many Patriot “Captains” had few men, sometimes no men, under their command during the actual battle at Kings Mountain. Most historians refuse to accept that at this important event, there were almost more Patriot officers engaged than militiamen, and that this is significant. Majors led as few as two (2) Captains, and many who had no men, or only one to five. It was rare, but some Captains did have more than ten men. Few had their original companies at full strength. It will soon be shown that the companies averaged only 5 men. 2 Note #2 Although the British seized Charlestown and many officers, and they once again devastated both the SC and NC militia at the Battle of Camden, the Patriots constantly kept rebuilding their militia in both states, and they retained their “semblance of order” by continuing the well-known “regiments” and recognized the leaders of all established militia units. Leaders of these well-established and well-known militia regiments agreed to “work with each other” for the common good of all. Ever since the start of the war, Captains attached themselves to other regiments when it was convenient. -
