4th of July Special: The Overmountain Men

from Dirt Road Tourist · host Kenneth Head

To help celebrate America's 250th, I want to take you back to 1780, to an extraordinary journey undertaken by a band of Appalachian Colonists in defense of their homes, and in search of freedom. This is the story of the Overmountain Men, and their journey to Kings Mountain, where they changed the course of the Revolutionary War, and our country's history. Join me for this special episode of the Dirt Road Tourist. And, thank you for listening.
