This National Park Service orientation film tells the story of Ninety Six. From its forming at the crossroads along trade routes linking the Cherokee territory to Charleston, SC. Ninety Six in the 1700s was a land of hope and opportunity, of conflict and revenge, and a land of frontier justice. Ninety Six played a significant role in the struggle for American independence from British rule. It was the site of the first southern land battle of the Revolutionary War in 1775, and the scene of the longest field siege in 1781.
