The Muster Grounds in Abingdon is celebrated because, in 1780, the volunteer militia of the Battle of Kings Mountain started their march over the Appalachian Mountains here. The militia commander was Virginian Colonel William Campbell; the ensuing battle completely destroyed the left wing of Cornwallis' army, thus ensuring America's success in the fight for Independence. |
