The school children had the opportunity to march alongside the Overmoutain men as they set out on their journey.
Abingdon 4th graders muster in and prepare to begin the march to the Battle if Kings Mountain
The school children march off with the Overmountain Men as the 2 week journey begins.
Alas, it is time for them to waive goodbye to their heroes.Many thanks to the city of Abingdon and the surrounding school systems for making the past 3 days possible. It has been quite an educational experience for one thousand plus students.
Now on to Bluff City. The Campaign to the Battle of Kings Mountain has just begun. We will not stop until we catch up with Major Patrick Furgeson and his Tory Army and defeat them.

I visited the Pemberton Oak in the summer right before it fell. It was an inspirational experience for me to touch the tree and walk around under it knowing that Revolutionary War soldiers bivouaced there on the way to a great military victory. I'm glad to see that local groups keep its memory alive. - Bud Pittman, Hope Mills, NC 2010
