First published in 1881, Lyman Draper's King's Mountain and Its Heroes is a treasured chronicle of the important American victory at King's Mountain on October 7, 1780. Draper (1815 - 1891) was a librarian and researcher who spent decades collecting rare manuscripts, memoirs, letters, and artifacts relating to the battle. Today the book remains not only one of the best accounts ever written about King's Mountain, but also an important reference for modern historians, considered in the canon of American Revolution histories.

King's Mountain and Its Heroes is far more than just a standard battlefield account. Rather, it is a history of the months and days leading up to the battle in what was then the border of the American frontier-the western Carolinas and Virginia, east Georgia and east Tennessee. By October 1780, this entire region had erupted into bloody civil war following the British conquest of South Carolina that May, with decisive consequences for the outcome of the American Revolution. And when a talented, aggressive British officer named Patrick Ferguson marched into this powder keg, challenging a colony of rugged mountaineers, the famed Overmountain Men, it was like striking a match.

Long out of print, King's Mountain and Its Heroes is presented here in an abridged version edited by Andrew Waters in clear, modern text. An inveterate researcher, Draper's all-inclusive style is rich with folkloric accounts of frontier life and culture but can be a challenge for modern readers seeking a sleeker narrative. This abridgement streamlines Draper's account, focusing on the main story of the battle, its circumstances and aftermath, and the men who played a decisive role in it.

Andrew Waters is the editor of The Battle of Cowpens: Primary & Contemporary Accounts. A resident of Spartanburg, South Carolina, he is the author of two histories of the American Revolution: The Quaker and the Gamecock: Nathanael Greene, Thomas Sumter, and the Revolutionary War for the Soul of the South and To the End of the World: Nathanael Greene, Charles Cornwallis, and the Race to the Dan. His writing also appears at The Journal of the American Revolution (allthingsliberty.com) and elsewhere on the Internet.

Love This Shimmer Spray!
Color: Silver
Absolutely love this glitter spray! I bought this for a party and it worked even better than I expected. The glitter is super fine and gives a beautiful, high-end shimmer without looking chunky or cheap. The spray nozzle is really easy to use and distributes the shimmer evenly on both hair and skin.

Shine bright!
Color: Golden
Shimmer is brilliant. It stays on longer if you add lotion to "seal" it in place. Small enough that it am not afraid it will hurt my eye if some gets in. Bonus that it has a refill. Bottle is super cute and glass.

Beats the expensive pet store ones lasts way longer without threads breaking even with heavy play
Style: 5 KNOTS
Have a high energy large dog that does bite oractiand he adores these! We've gone through even some super expensive ropes from pet stores promising they will last yet they are destroyed in a couple uses. This is his second one and the first only had one badly worn spot with threads lose after months of heavy use! He was so excited when his new one came today and value for the price and durability I will stick to these every time now dog loves it! Very rug chew resistant great size!

Strong toy
Style: 5 KNOTS
This has been a great activity for our dog and really sturdy for our super chewer. We don’t let her have it alone but she has been known to saw through a few ropes while playing tug.

Great rope for dogs that destroy all their toys
Style: 5 KNOTS
So this product is not dog proof but man is it higher quality than others on the market. One of them is a shredder, anything she can get her paws and teeth on she’s ripping apart with all her might, it’s impressive if a stuffed toy lasts 5 minutes. We have tried lots of different materials and toys and this thing is great. It’s not saturated in drool and does not smell after they play all day. It is a large heavy rope so would be cautious if your large dogs likes to thrash. Our big boy doesn’t and it’s too large for our medium sized dog to thrash. Might be a little pricier than others but the extra money is well worth it. 85 lbs rottie mix and 25 lbs terrier mix in the video, we were just moving in so ignore the boxes lol
