 | | The orders were speedily obeyed, and they moved forward over King's Creek, and up a branch and ravine, and between two rocky knobs, which when they had passed, the top of the mountain and the enemy's camp upon it, were in full view, about 100 poles in front. |
 | | It is said that Col. Ferguson, when he encamped on King's Mountain, after some days of retreat before the gathering militia, exclaimed to his men, " Here is a place God Almighty can not drive us from." He never left the mountain; he fell the next day, in battle. |
