ment— the  date  and  details  going  to  show  that  Colonel  Shelby  was  his  authority;  they
had  met  on  the  King's  Mountain  campaign.  Pension  statement  of  Captain  Joseph
Hughes.  MS.  notes  of  conversations  with  Major  James  Sevier,  son  of  Colonel  John  Sevier;
also  with  Major  Thomos  H.  Shelby,  son  of  Colonel  Isaac  Shelby,  and  Colonel  George
Wilson,  of  Tennessee.
The  pretended  narrative  of  Colonel  Samuel  Hammond,  in  Johnson's  Traditions,  has
not  been  relied  on.  It,  for  instance,  refers  to  the  express,  who  brought  intelligence  of
Gates'  defeat,  also  bringing  news  of  Sumter's  disaster  at  Fishing  Creek,  when,  in  fact,  it
did  not  occur,  until  several  hours  later  of  the  same  day,  and  in  a  distant  county.  Colonel
Hammond,  of  course,  never  wrote  anything  of  the  kind.
