520			_a"Rifles and Riflemen at the Battle of Kings Mountain" by Roger W. Young, C. P. Russell, and Dr. Alfred F. Hopkins is a historical account that was likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically around the 1940s. The book delves into the significant battle that took place on October 7, 1780, during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on the role of American frontiersmen and their rifles in this unexpected confrontation against British forces. It highlights the tactical use of firearms and the personal valor demonstrated by the American riflemen during this pivotal engagement. The narrative outlines the events leading up to the battle, explaining the fierce determination of the Alleghany mountaineers to protect their homes from British and Loyalist aggression. It depicts their assembly, under various leaders, as they pursued Major Patrick Ferguson's forces to Kings Mountain. The book details the critical military tactics employed, particularly the advantages of using the long rifle over the British breechloading Ferguson rifle, and illustrates the ferocity of the battle itself, which concluded with a decisive victory for the American forces. Ultimately, the text serves to emphasize the profound impact that the Battle of Kings Mountain had on the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War, including its contribution to American morale and the subsequent weakening of British military strategy in the South.
