Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of Tennessee's settlement, focusing on the brave pioneers who established the state between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany mountains. Beginning with the arrival of the first families on the Watauga River in 1768, the author follows the struggles and triumphs of these early settlers as they faced relentless attacks from both British Loyalists and Native American tribes. The author provides a detailed account of the founding of the Watauga Association, the region's first attempt at independent civil government, and the formation of the Cumberland settlements led by the prominent frontiersman James Robertson. Amidst the challenges of establishing a new society in the wilderness, the settlers also grappled with the complexities of land ownership and Native American relations. The book explores the complex relationship between the settlers and the indigenous tribes, highlighting the efforts of Robertson and others to negotiate for peace while also defending their settlements from attacks. It sheds light on the strategies employed by both sides, including the use of diplomacy, military campaigns, and alliances with other tribes. Through the lens of these early pioneers, the author explores the broader themes of westward expansion, the clash between European and Native American cultures, and the resilience and determination of those who dared to venture into the unknown. This book offers a valuable insight into the founding of Tennessee and the significant role it played in shaping the destiny of the United States.
