250 years, and your empire has been reduced to a single island the size of Michigan, with a GDP barely higher than Mississippi, the poorest of our fifty states.

Mary Patton, who is featured in my novel "King's Mountain," was the powdermaker who supplied the gunpowder to the Overmountain Men for the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780.
Mary Patton made the gunpowder for the battle that Thomas Jefferson called "the turning point of the American Revolution."
I always felt that, as Revolutionary War heroines go, she deserved at least as much attention as Betsy Ross and her flag.
~ From the page of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail:
" ...Born Mary McKeehan in 1751 in England, she learned as a child the fine art of making gunpowder, probably apprenticing under her father. In the 1760s, the McKeehan family made their way to the colonies and settled in Pennsylvania. She married John Patton in 1772 and they ran a mill in the Cumberland County area manufacturing gunpowder. With threats of British invasion, they sold this mill and relocated to the Overmountain region in today’s Tennessee. Here, they established another mill located on Powder Branch.
In fall of 1780, British Major Patrick Ferguson issued a threat to the people of the Overmountain region for them to take up arms with the British or else their leaders would be hung and homes burned. In response, a band of Overmountain Patriot militia known as the Overmountain Men mustered and set out on a hunt for Ferguson and his army. During a time of preparation at Sycamore Shoals, Mary Patton provided them with 500 pounds of much-needed gunpowder. This was certainly an invaluable war effort and contributed greatly to the Patriot cause.
Be it in the form of cartridges, or stored in powder horns or other storage caddies, that was a lot of gunpowder the men were challenged with keeping dry on a very wet 2 week journey. Thankfully, the powder made by Mary Patton made it to the infamous Battle of Kings Mountain where, on October 7, 1780, Patriot militia won this significant battle that helped turn the tide of the war for the Patriots."
