    Loyal men deserve their day in the sun as much as the rebels do.
    I've always had an interest in Ferguson & the Battle of King's Mountain has always been my favorite battle, since my 5th great-grandfather, Teter "Detrich" Nave (a son of Swiss immigrants) fought against Ferguson in Shelby's command.

    Interestingly, a large portion of the Over-the-mountain Men were of Scots-Irish stock.
