Rededicated on September 29th, 1980
to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the heroic march
of the "Over the Mountain Men."

When American independence looked hopeless
a citizen army marched thru this mountain gap
to challenge British threats to freedom.
The resulting encounter
so decisively defeated the Royal Forces at Kings Mountain
that hope for independence became a certainty.
Thus did aroused Patriots give the nation
a proud and lasting heritage.

We shall never forget...
