Party Motif
From p2B
-oOo-
Mr. and Mrs. L. Keith
Mitchell of Winston Salem
entertained Miss PlMik and
Mr. Jester July 19 at a West
ern party at their home on
Oldwood Lane
Western dress was worn by
the hosts and guests. The
cook-out dinner was served on
the patio where garden flow
ers decorated tables. Guests
square danced to Western
music in the large recreation
area.
The engaged pair received
an all-purpose crock pot as a
gift from the host coi?)le.
was fought in defense of his
country. He had lost his cattle
and food and now he must
fight to regain peace. The
whole country was stirred by
the threats of the Tories and
aU of this had aroused the
people who lived in this sec
tion until they were ready to
fight for their liberties.
Few people have ever been
prepared for war. You can
worry a man for a long time
and not get his fighting blood
aroused but when he doesn’t
know at what hour his family
may be taken prisoners, or
possibly hanged, you may look
for that feUa to give you a
considerable scrap if he feels
he has a chance at his enemy.
Such was the case with
Preston Goforth and others
who lived in this section when
the Battle of Kings Mountain
was fought Oct. 7, 1780.
It is true there were many
Tories in this section, possibly
more than in any other section
of the country. Three of Pres
ton Goforth’s brothers were
Tories. Miss Falls’ history re
veals the reason may have
been that the brothers had
been threatened or because
they thou^t the American
cause could not win. Many of
them joined the American
Army just as soon as they saw
that the tide had turned.
Miss Falls’ history con
tinues:
“Our men in this section
were watching for an op
portunity to get even with
their Tory neighbors who had
been robbing them of all their
provisions and were driving
their cattle to Fergusoi’s
camps. When the news sp*ead
throughout this country that
our men were approaching
Kings Mountain where Fergu
son was encamped, they for
got all of their home affairs
and made ready at once to
help in every way they could.
They just stopped their plows
in the furrow and loaded their
rifles and went to work. They
were fighting for their homes.
“Preston Goforth joined
Hampton’s North Carolina
troops shortly before the
battle of Kings Mountain. He
w^ killed at the battle OcL 7^
1780. Colonel Shelby wrote
after the battle “that two
brothers, expert riflemen,
were seen to present at each
other, to fire and fall at the
same instant.” It is not known
for sure, but Preston Grforth
did have brothers on the Tex-y
side and people in this section
think the Goforth brothers
were the ones who shot each
other.
“On the American side,
there were 28 killed and 60
wounded. The dead were not
