An illustration depicting the Battle of Kings Mountain late in the afternoon of October 7, 1780 from the perspective of the Loyalist camp of Maj. Patrick Ferguson atop Kings Mountain. Scene depicts the moment when organized military resistance to the surrounding attacking Patriots, led by Col. William Campbell, collapses and leads to widespread chaos and panic of Fergusonís men as hundreds of Tories try to surrender to the Patriots who are advancing on all sides of the camp and filled with revenge are altogether too fired up to halt the slaughter. 2003 oil painting by artist Archil Pichkhadze originally commissioned by the National Park Service/Harpers Ferry Center for wayside exhibits at Kings Mountain National Military Park. artist Archil Pichkhadze
