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. This does not mean they were now in this new regiment and no longer part of their original regiment.

And, since the beginning of the war, whenever a regiment was mustered in “times of stress,” the entire regiment could not be assembled in time to meet the exigency. So, leaders hastily pulled together what men they could, and proceeded with incomplete regiments. In military parlance, these are called “detachments.”

3 Note #3

We may never know – for certain – the names of each and every Patriot who truly participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain.

And, we may never know – for certain – the exact “order of battle,” that is, which officers led specific men at a specific location, at the Battle of Kings Mountain.

But…

We CAN do better… and we should.
