King's Mountain: The Turning Point in the Revolutionary War


Won by the Overmountain men with the help of a few locals conspicuous among whom were the members of the Ewart Clan. Not named in the 1877 book by C. L. Hunter are Aunt Margaret Ewart Adams's husband and son whom she rode to see on that unruly stallion the day after the battle.
A Costner uncle was there, Thomas, and other (mainly German) uncles and cousins not known to be kin to the Ewarts.
