Park Revisit- King's Moutain National Battlefield

This was the sister park to Cowpens, and was the site of another major American Victory in the Revolutionary War. 

Cooper and I visited here back on June 6th of 2009, when we were on our Maine Summer trip:

The park is literally on the side of a mountain, and details the struggle back then.

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.

I did get the site stamp on this visit, and the Overmountain Victory Trail stamp as well, but the 25th Anniversary Stamp was not to be found.
