That's why the "New Kings Mountain Story" video trilogy is available again this year for you to watch during the 241st anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain. And this year you'll find even more videos, audios, and stories about the Ameri- can Revolution era in North Carolina. Find them at BecomingAmerica250. com. Enjoy viewing them all free online from wher- ever you are. "But remem- ber," says author and video producer Randell Jones, "the 'New Kings Mountain Story' video tril- ogy is available only for a few weeks, September 22 through October 17." Still, that's plenty of time to watch and learn this special story, he says. All the other offerings at Be- comingAmerica250.com will be there continually as America approaches its 250th anniversary of independence. Find the "New Kings Mountain Story" video trilogy at Becomin- gAmerica250.com. Look for "History Highlights" and then scroll down to "1780." You'll also want to watch "The Revolu- tion Around the Regula- tors" to see a 30-minute overview of the American Revolution as experi- enced in North Carolina. And, under "1771," you can read and listen about the War of the Regula- tion, history unique to North Carolina, history which sets the stage for the Battle of Kings Moun- tain. The Kings Mountain Historical Museum, who sponsored the video tril- ogy for local viewers last year, is also offering a link to the videos this fall through BecomingAmer- ica250.com. The "New Kings Moun- tain Story" video tril- ogy tells you the history that will help you better understand the role of backcountry militiamen in the Southern Campaign and their contribution to winning the American Revolution. "Together, these videos provide the backstory, the epilogue, and the real history sur- rounding the story at the core of the stage drama 'Liberty Mountain,'" says Jones, "a theatrical ex- perience we all hope will start again in summer 2022." All the videos have music and dramatic narration, telling the story with maps, artwork, and images of reenactors captured at 12 years of reenactments around the Southeast. Each video is 35-40 minutes. "The story of the Battle of Kings Mountain is a big story," Jones con- tends. "It is more than can be told at one time because it is more than just the battle." The story of the muster, the march, the pursuit, and the battle are shared in the first video, "The American Spirit, 1780." This is the story which prompted the creation of the 330-mile Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail in 1980, North Carolina's premiere national historic trail. The second video shares some new history only recently developed by three independent scholars in North Caro- lina. It explains how the South Carolina militia- men got to the battle along with Lincoln County (NC) militiamen. "It turns out," declares Jones, "they marched as far as anybody else to get to a battle that was in their own backyard." That story, told in "A Broader, Bolder Kings Mountain Story," takes the Kings Mountain Story onto new landscapes and reveals new heroes. "The third video starts where most people stop paying attention to the story," Jones says. "This is the story of what hap- pened after the loyalist surrendered on October 7, 1780." The title gives viewers a hint: "Tired, Cold, and Hungry—the 'death march' of prisoner after Kings Mountain." The patriot militiamen marched away 800 pris- oners, Jones says, and two weeks later, they descended upon the un- suspecting Moravians at Bethabara where the victors and prisoners ate this German-speaking community of Christians out of house and home for weeks. Watch the "New Kings Mountain Story" video trilogy during September and early October. It's a story of courage and de- termination and coopera- tion, all good things for us to remember as Ameri- cans. And it's a great story to recall as we learn more about the history of our becoming America 250 years ago. Randell Jones is the producer of the "New Kings Mountain Story" video trilogy and the cre- ator of BecomingAmer- ica250.com. He is the author of the books: "Be- fore They Were Heroes at King's Mountain" and "A Guide to the Overmoun- tain Victory National His- toric Trail." He consulted with the National Park Service during 12 years on developing commu- nity engagement with the Trail. In 2013, he received the national His- tory Award Medal from the National Society Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution (NSDAR) for his body of work dur- ing the prior 10 years. For 12 years, he served as an invited member of the Road Scholar's Speakers Bureau of the NC Human- ities Council, speaking to audiences across the state. Randell's birthday is October 7, so he is fond of declaring he was born to tell this story. "New Kings Mountain Story" video trilogy – again
