The turn of the tide of success:
Thomas Jefferson called it "The turn of the tide of success." The battle of Kings Mountain, fought October 7th, 1780, was an important American victory during the Revolutionary War. The battle was the first major patriot victory to occur after the British invasion of Charleston, SC in May 1780. The park preserves the site of this important battle. A Battle that set in motion a new direction of the revolutionary war. The British decided to change their tactics and move the war to the Southern states. After a series of victories, they would meet a group of Mountain men that feared there way of life would be threatened. This small army won a victory that would turn an unwinnable war to a winnable war for the Americans.

We made a return trip with Daisy Mae joining us for the walk around the trail. No BARK Program but we still had a great day for a trail walk with so many smells for Daisy to take in.

We got to take in the unit today with the girls tagging along. After taking in the exhibits and movie at the visitor center and learning why this site was so important to the road to the end of the revolutionary war and our independence. We headed out to take the one-mile trail around the battlefield. The girls really enjoyed the day taking in all the sights and smells.
