ORIGINAL: SorceressJ I admit that the next time Hilly comes to NC to fish, he should consider coming to Kings Mountain so we can go visit the battleground, and the Menfolks can cookout in my backyard. And stuff. Some pissed off Tennesseeans gathered about 2 miles from My house to walk to Kings Mountain and kick Brit ass. (((Totally Awesome))) I admit that Himself was born and raised here, and so when I came here to be with Him, having for some mysterious reason probably having to do with whomever prints and distributes school textbooks to CA schoolchildren never heard of the Battle of Kings Mountain (or Cowpens SC), I had the pleasure of playing catch-up in some Rev War history, of which I am a huge fan. I admit that just this past weekend, we took our 10-yr-old and went back out to KM National Park, which is about 6 miles from our house, to revisit that place and see all the new exhibits they have there. I admit they also have a Living History Farm on the nearby premises with all kinds of period buildings and machinery, including a working smithy, a sorghum press, and fields that are still kept up with crops and animals by the good people who take care of the place. A priceless relic and a memory of a lifestyle that part of me wishes we could drop all this modern bullshit and get back to some of. I admit that I would like to keep the antibiotics, please.
