The Interior Secretary must find where the Battle of Kings Mountain was fought. The Secretary must then acquire that land and any nearby useful land. This can happen by purchase, gift, or condemnation.

The Secretary of the Interior must determine exactly where the Battle of Kings Mountain took place. The Secretary must then acquire legal title to that land, plus any adjacent and nearby land the Secretary considers useful for carrying out the purposes of this section and the two sections that follow it (sections 430a and 430b). The Secretary may do this by purchase, by gift, or by condemnation — a legal process, under title 40 section 3113, that lets the government take land for public use. All of this must follow the general federal land-acquisition procedures in title 40, sections 3111 and 3112.
