Gives you a great sense of the terrain for an important Rev War battle in back country!
Kings Mountain National Military Park的点评
点评:The battlefield has a nice visitor center and a small but comprehensive museum. Bathrooms are on the premises just adjacent the visitors center which are clean with running water. The film gives a clear sense of the tragedy of what was clearly a backcountry civil war between Torres and Patriots or Over the Mountain Men. Brutal battle which shows how British Major Ferguson fatally underestimated his foes and allowed he and his forces to be trapped and defeated. A monument to Ferguson is on hilly trail where he is buried. Another tall obelisk at the top is a testament to those who fell in brutal battle. Sad exploitation of neighbor vs neighbor in the most divided state in the colonies. Important patriot victory. Trails are a bit steep in places and can be a bit challenging to walk but lots of benches to rest. Interpretive historical markers are a great guide.
翻译:战场上有一个不错的游客中心和一个虽小但内容丰富的博物馆。游客中心旁边就是干净的洗手间,有自来水供应。影片清晰地展现了这场发生在托雷斯和爱国者(或称“翻山越岭者”)之间的内战的悲剧。这场残酷的战斗揭示了英国少校弗格森如何致命地低估了敌人,导致他和他的部队被困并最终战败。弗格森的纪念碑位于他长眠的山间小径上。山顶上另一座高耸的方尖碑是为了纪念在这场残酷战斗中牺牲的将士。这场悲剧发生在殖民地时期最分裂的州,邻里之间互相残杀的悲剧令人痛心。这是一场爱国者的重要胜利。小径有些地方比较陡峭,走起来可能有些吃力,但沿途有很多长椅可以休息。历史解说牌是很好的向导。
