American Revolutionary War: Battle of King’s Mountain

  1. One Comment to “American Revolutionary War: Battle of King’s Mountain”

  2. I am looking for some information about the New England army
    raised in the beginning of the Revolutionary war, before
    Congress instituted the Continental Army. There are a few blips
    here and there on the internet, but I would like to know, when (I
    think MASS formed), where did they fight and were they
    eventually absorbed into the Continental army.

    Thanks.
