[edit] Site of the battle
I reverted an anonymous edit that adjusted the site of the battle to Blacksburg, South Carolina. Blacksburg SC and King's Mountain NC have both tried for years to gain fame as the site of the battle. Both are about the same distance away (4 to 5 miles), and neither existed at the time it was fought. I hope this doesn't become a revert war. I chose the NC site since the name matches, and it matches the mailing address of the National Battlefield Park. Besides the name seems more appropriate. Another piece of trivia, the state line goes right through the battlefield. Just wanted to explain the revert. Lou I 20:12, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The mailing address of the Kings Mountain National Military Park is 2625 Park Rd., Blacksburg, SC 29702. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 19:44, 2005 May 11 (UTC)
[edit] Move Battle of King's Mountain to Battle of Kings Mountain
The official name of the national military park is Kings Mountain National Military Park (no apostrophe in Kings). I propose to ask an administrator to move Battle of King's Mountain to Battle of Kings Mountain if there is no dissent by June 11, 2005. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 19:48, 2005 May 11 (UTC)
[edit] Overmountain Men redirect?
I don't think Overmountain Men should be redirected to this battle, they appeared in other battles too, like Battle of Cowpens and also in The Wataugans. --Awiseman 19:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
