Abstract:
Many famous names have been associated with Cleveland County. Three men, whose names loom large in the pages of history, are closely identified with Cleveland County and its capital, Shelby. They are Colonel Benjamin Cleveland, the hero of the Battle of Kings' Mountain; Colonel Isaac Shelby, the first governor of Kentucky; and Major Patrick Ferguson, the inventor of the breech-loading rifle.
