narrated tours as the
tour bus travels across
the countryside, with
National Park Service
videos on the bus, and
re-enactors at the
sites.
Just where were
those patriots and
British troops standing
in the field? Well, the
South Carolina Society
has arranged for
re-enactors to take up
static positions to
provide a full
understanding of the
battle scenes. And as a
tribute to the
Congress held in 1930,
the same menu will be
replicated. If you've
been to King's
Mountain, come again
and see it from a new
viewpoint.
The tour on
Saturday continues on
to Cowpens. Gens.
Greene and Daniel
Morgan crushed the
British during this
battle, and it was the
beginning of the end.
The tour on
Wednesday will return
to another crucial site:
the Siege of Ninety
Six. Gens. Greene and
Francis Marion,
subject of the 2014
Poster Contest, drove
the British from this
site. It's an exciting
story of how the
patriots overcame the
world's greatest army!
A post-Congress
trip to the Biltmore
Estate is offered. This
grand home of the
Vanderbilts is known
for its opulence and
exhibition of 19th
century wealth. The
tour includes
admission, a
scrumptious buffet
lunch, tour of the
property and a side
