Prince's Fort
Prince's Fort was built in South Carolina for protection against the Cherokee Indians. It was near the residence of John Prince. Fort Prince was the general rallying point in times of danger when the people of the settlement sought safety. Just in front was a creek for their washing. Nearby stood a mill which ground corn, later known as Grays Mill. It stood for several years after the American Revolutionary War.
==Size and Shape==
Prince's Fort, circular in shape, was constructed of heavy logs. It was in diameter and high. Port holes were cut for use by riflemen, and it was surrounded by a ditch, the dirt from which was thrown against the walls to parapet height.
In 1777 Prince's Fort was commanded by Captain James Steen (promoted to Lieutenant Colonel by 1780), of Thicketty, South Carolina (Thicketty Creek).〔Lyman Draper (1815–1891) in ''Kings Mountain and Its Heroes'', pages 469–470, published 1881.〕
