The first month-long summer production is slated for June 26, 2015. Caleb Sigmon is artistic director, Katy Biser is cos- tumes/stage manager, Nancy Pinkerton is caterer and Jim Champion is producer. 1780. The American Revolution has dragged on for five wearying years, and is now at a stalemate. There have been victories and de- feats on both sides in the New England colonies — Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Lex- ington, Concord, Trenton, Monmouth. But victory eludes the combatants. The British under General Clin- ton firmly hold New York, but little else. George Wash- ington’s Continentals are unable to force a decisive battle. It is a complex and frus- trating situation for King George III and his military. The long campaign, stretch- ing back to the French and Indian war, has sapped the royal treasury. Parliament grows increasingly restive. And now the French have entered the fray on the side of the Americans. The King has vowed not to give up the Colonies. But how to re- solve the situation? The an- swer: Go South. America’s southern colonies have, until now, mostly escaped the worst ravages of the war. There have been battles and skir- mishes by forces loyal to the king and those who advo- cate independence, but noth- ing on the scale of the New England campaigns. The Carolinas are mostly peace- ful and increasingly prosper- ous. The new British strategy: invade South Carolina. Cap- ture Charleston and drive north, establishing strong- holds, attracting what’s ex- pected to be an outpouring of loyalist sentiment and arms. Once South Carolina is subdued, continue into North Carolina, then to Vir- ginia. Trap George Wash- ington’s army between the British forces moving north and those coming out of New York in a decisive bat- tle that will end the revolu- tion. It almost worked, and would have except for Kings Mountain — a story being re- told 234 years after the fact in a new stage drama, “Lib- erty Mountain,” by veteran novelist and playwright Robert Inman, With a world premier scheduled for early October, 2014 at the Joy Performance Center in Kings Mountain, North Car- olina, the drama will be re- peated every summer in the future. “Liberty Mountain” is told in the lives of the fron- tier families who settled the Carolinas in the early days of American history. They were predominantly Scots- Irish Presbyterians, immi- grants from Northern Ireland who came with a chip on their shoulder, vic- tims of hardship and poverty they blamed on British landowners. Thousands moved to America, many of them to the Carolinas, in hopes of building new lives, raising families, worshiping as they pleased. Many held strong alle- giances to King and Crown, many supported the drive for an independent America. But many were content to just be left alone . It was not to be. In May, 1780, it appeared the British southern strategy was working splendidly. Charleston had fallen and three thousand Continental troops had surrendered. An- other huge defeat followed at Camden, and by now, there was no such thing as a Continental Army in the south. The British com- mander, Lord Cornwallis, reported to London that South Carolina was firmly in his hands, that Patriot re- sistance was crushed, that Loyalists were flocking to the King’s cause. By October, it had all turned to dust. British bru- tality and arrogance made Cornwallis and his allies their own worst enemies. Loyalist bands, little more than outlaws, murdered Pa- triots and looted and burned their homes and farms. A British legion massacred Pa- triot militiamen trying to surrender after a battle in the Waxhaw region of North Carolina. Rather than being crushed and subdued, the Backcountry regions of both Carolinas were enraged and up in arms, staging success- ful geurilla raids and defeat- ing British and Loyalist units in a series of pitched battles. But if blame for the turn- ing of the tide can be laid at the feet of one man, it is British Major Patrick Fergu- son. On orders from Corn- wallis, he recruited and trained a force of Loyalist militia in the area around Ninety Six, South Carolina, then marched them north. Cornwallis captured Char- lotte, and prepared to move further north with Ferguson in control of his left flank. Ferguson perceived his main threat to be from the area known as the Overmountain Territory, across the Ap- palachians in what is pres- ent-day Eastern Tennessee — a land settled by fierce and fiercely-independent fron- tier families, veteran Indian fighters. Ferguson sent a message: lay down your arms and swear allegiance to the King, or I will cross the mountains, hang your lead- ers, and lay waste to your homes. It was Ferguson’s fatal mistake. A thousand of the frontiersmen quickly organ- ized and set out on a gruel- ing journey across the mountains in search of Fer- guson. They were joined by militia units from both Car- olinas, and on October 8, 1780, they found Ferguson and his force camped atop Kings Mountain. Achieving complete surprise, they sur- rounded the mountain and attacked uphill, fighting In- dian-style, using rocks and trees for cover. Within an hour, it was over. Ferguson was dead and his entire force destroyed — hundreds killed and wounded, the rest taken captive. The Patriots lost 28 killed and 58 wounded. Historians agree that it was the turning point in the Revolution. Cornwallis, his flank exposed, beat a hasty retreat from Charlotte. There were other battles in the en- suing year — a Patriot victory at Cowpens, a draw at Guil- ford Court House that left Cornwallis’s force deci- mated. And it ended finally with his surrender at York- town on October 19, 1781. Yoga Room to The Yoga Room will open Monday, Sept. 29, at 9 a.m. at 120 Cherokee Street in Kings Mountain. Leshea Perkins, who has taught yoga for two years but has been volunteering time to teach special needs children and their parents, said she stumbled upon the space for rent on Cherokee Street in downtown Kings Mountain a few weeks ago and decided to remodel the building and open it as her studio. “With my experience and my studies I would like to encourage more people and children in our community to practice yoga, breathe free and live a strong life," she said, adding, “I find yoga very rewarding and I am very grateful for this op- portunity, and I consider myself a motivational teacher who gives others confidence in their bodies’ ability to heal, strengthen and evolve both on and off local pretreatment regulations. ria was exceeded by 100%.

In order to take care of her family, she said wanted to keep them happy and healthy. open Sept. 29 LESHEA PERKINS Perkins said practicing yoga reduces stress, helps you gain balance, flexibility, and better posture, detoxes the organs and helps with di- gestion, strengthens mus- cles, bones and core, improves circulation and respiration which are both For Sale 110 Jason Drive, Kings Mountain, NC Large Brick Home Featuring: 4 Bedrooms, 5 Baths, Kitchen with Breakfast Area, Dining Room, Pantry, Family Room with Fireplace, Hardwood Floors, Walk-in Closets, All Appliances, Approx. 3,082 Square Feet, Built in 1989, 2-Car Garage, 2 Storage Buildings, Patio, Fenced Back Yard, Country Club Area CARLOS MC] EAN REALTY & AUCTION CO. 207 EAST THIRD AVE.
