PRE REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROAD BED
The above photo was taken February 14, 2009 when obstruction of growth was at a minimum. It shows what is clearly the old road bed for the original Charleston Road that was traveled by the wagon involved in the Mine Creek Ambush November 3, 1775.
At noon Saturday this July 24 members of our chapter SAR and The Saluda County Historical Society will meet to develop a program commemorating the ambush. At this commemoration a historic roadside marker will be unveiled and a brief program will take place at the theater in Saluda. Cotters Wagon Load, a brief history docudrama using the exact words of the wagon driver Cotter will be presented as part of the SAR-DAR Saluda County Historical Society program. Admission is without charge and exact time will be announced as the date of Saturday, November 6 draws nearer. This is an important historic event you will enjoy and appreciate.

Saluda being one of the tri-counties that our Chapter SAR covers, this publication will be greatly appreciated by all our members. Being one who grew up in Saluda and working as docent-volunteer in the past very closely with Dr. Bela I can clearly declare that the workmanship of this vast publication will be impeccable and therefore, sight unseen recommend it in the highest possible terms. One has only to briefly examine Breaking New Ground, still on sale at Saluda County Historical Society, to evaluate the workmanship of this lady and those working with her.
