Mom was DAR, I’m SAR. These guys are unbelievable. I’m the great grandson ×6 of the founder of Fort Watauga. He lost everything. King’s Mountain was the last battle of the revolution.

King’s Mountain was a major Patriot victory by the “Overmountain Men” and arguably the most important battle of the Southern Campaign but I’ve never seen it called “the last battle of the revolution”.

There was a string of battles yet to come before London admitted defeat. Cowpens. The race to the Dan. Guilford Courthouse. Ninety Six. The Battle of the Virginia Capes, where the French navy set the stage for Yorktown. And lastly Yorktown itself and Cornwallis’ defeat.

I’ve visited King’s Mountain. It’s an incredible place. Why do you say it was the last battle?

Check out The Battle of Toms River Blockhouse. Toms River, NJ, March 1782.
