From a book Overmountain Men, the survivors of Buford, retreated into the Holston River area of Tennessee and Colonel Ferguson sent a death threat to everyone in the area that he was coming for them to "lay waste to their land", then the men got together, used spies to locate Ferguson and attackedhim on the Battle of King's Mountain.
