Pictured is the Pickens County Court House, Talking Rock and the

Carolina military leader and politician Andrew Pickens, who fought the
Cherokees in 1760 and 1782. During the Revolution he was awarded a sword
for the victory at Cowpens. He also served in the state house. The
Cherokees had a large village on Long Swamp Branch at the foot of the
Appalachian Mountains These American Indians were forced to cede land
further east as punishment for siding with the British during the
Revolutionary War for which Colonel Pickens hung six loyalists in 1782
near present-day Nelson.
