Ferguson's Loyalist Militia

Liberty Mountain's living history initiative began in 2014, when interest, networking and research led us to attend many Revolutionary War themed reenactments in our area. Fort Defiance in Lenoir, NC, Hickory Ridge in Boone, and the Kings Mountain National Military Park and Cowpens National Battlefield. Our unit interprets the backcountry loyalist militia and limited loyalist provincials included in Major Patrick Ferguson's force from May-October,1780. We also teach about Major Ferguson's life, career and accomplishments, and we often bring a real Ferguson Ordnance Rifle of the Major's patent with us to living history events all over North and South Carolina.
