Appendix Two:
SUPERINTENDENTS AND STAFF

Through most of the 1930s,Cowpens NBS was managed by the War Department and the NPS without a superintendent or other staff. In August 1936, a custodian was appointed to maintain the site. Lacking the facilities of a full park, Cowpens was administered by the superintendent at Kings Mountain NMP from December 1937 until March 1981. During the development of a full park between February 12, 1978, and March 21, 1981, Cowpens was administered by an on-site unit manager under the Kings Mountain NMP superintendent.
