Yep. Too bad it was Ferguson and not Tarleton at King’s Mountain!

Indeed, Ferguson was a gentleman. He once had an opportunity to kill Gen. Washington from ambush using his famous rifle, but his conscience forebade it and he spared Washington’s life. A noble adversary, surely.

Yeah, but Tarleton had to flee for his life after Daniel Morgan kicked his a*s at the Cowpens [Hannah’s Cowpens, I believe, is the correrct name]. His American Legion and British troops were almost annihilated.
