Militiamen of Colonel Thomas Brandon's Second Spartan Regiment fight their way into the Loyalist camp near the close of the brief, but decisive Battle of King's Mountain.
In the background, the encircled loyalist troops are silhouetted against the sky at the top of the barren ridge. The ground below the ridge is littered with casualties in the wake of Patriot attacks and Loyalist counterattacks.
The battle resulted in about a thousand Tory militia killed or captured.
Cornwallis's superior, General Sir Henry Clinton, later considered it, 'the first link in a chain of events... that ended in the loss of America.'
