A propos de cet article

Format is approximately 5.375 inches by 8.5 inches. [4], 21, [3] pages plus covers. Footnotes and final printed page entitled Footnotes [Annotations by Mr. Elmer O. Parker, Columbia, South Carolina]. Small scuff on front cover. Dr. Maurice Augustus Moore was born in York County, S.C. on August 10, 1795 to Alexander Moore and Dorcas Erwin Moore. At 16 he went to Mecklenburg County, N.C. and taught school for a few months and then became a clerk in his brother-in-law's store. Moore's brother James suggested that he study medicine. He read medicine with Dr. William Harris of Wadesboro, N.C. and finished his degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Returning to York, he went in to practice with his brother William. Dr. Moore married Adeline Allison in 1824. After she died in 1826, his health being poor, he went to Cuba to recuperate. After returning to the U.S., he married Sophonisba Nott in 1833 and moved to Union County, SC shortly thereafter. He gave up medicine and devoted his energies to agriculture. A few year later he was elected to the South Carolina Legislature serving two terms. Dr. Moore also helped develop Glenn Springs, served as an office in the Bank of South Carolina, and wrote several histories. He died on August 31, 1871. Gen. Edward Lacey served the new American republic throughout the Revolutionary War in South Carolina, and it may be said that without his courageous effort, the Battle of King's Mountain would not have occurred. Edward Lacey was born in Pennsylvania in 1742, oldest son of Edward Lacey Sr. At the age of 13, during the French and Indian War, Edward ran away from home to join Braddock's Expedition against the French in Canada. Found after two years and brought home by his father, Edward ran away again the following year, joining the exodus of Pennsylvanians to Carolina. He was taken in by William Adair, father of a future governor of Kentucky, who gave him an excellent education. In 1779 the British made the submission of South Carolina a high priority. In the Spring of 1780 Charleston fell under British control and the government of South Carolina fled in exile. There was strong support for the Patriot cause in the back country led by Gen. Thomas Sumter. Edward Lacey, captain of the Chester Co. militia, became one of Sumter's most trusted deputies. On Friday, October 6, Col. Patrick Ferguson chose King's Mountain as the place to dig in and make his stand against the patriots he knew were on his trail. On Saturday, the seventh, the "flying column" in the advance of the combined patriot army found him there. Surrounding the small mountain, they moved in on Ferguson's soldiers from all sides. Col. Lacey commanded one of several militia units taking part in the battle. Within hours the battle was over, the hated Ferguson dead. Col. Lacey continued to lead troops under Gen. Sumter, fighting in several other battles in South Carolina. Following the war, Lacey was made Brigadier General by South Carolina and named a judge in the newly created Chester District. He was elected to the South Carolina legislature, serving until 1793. In 1797 he moved his family west, first locating in Montgomery Co. Tenn., then the farthest frontier, to the west of Nashville. He remained there for two years, then moved again to Livingston Co. Ky. where he served as a county judge. On March 20, 1813, he drowned while attempting to cross a flooded creek.
