Battle of Kings Mtn

The 1909 monument at the Kings Mountain battlefield names 66 patriots killed or wounded. Some of them are correct. Tory Lt. Anthony Allaire wrote that 135 patriots were killed and 150 (equal to ours) were wounded. Loyalist Doctor Uzal Johnson, who treated the wounded, made diary entries similar or identical to Allaire’s. William Davidson wrote that 20 patriots were killed. Colonel Campbell’s report said 28 patriots were killed and 66 were wounded. The actual counts are in a range between these numbers.
