Synopsis The King's Mountain Men by : Katherine Keogh White
Excerpt from The King's Mountain Men: The Story of the Battle, With Sketches of the American Soldiers Who Took Part The list in this book, of the heroes who won the battle of King's Mountain, does not assume to be complete. So far as I am aware, no rosters are in existence. Historians are not agreed as to the number of the Americans who were in the expedition. The general Opinion is that it was between one thousand and twelve hundred. I had this number in mind when I began a search for the names of the individual soldiers, and an authentic record in each instance of the soldier's service, in the war of the Revolu tion. While investigating county records, land grants, pension statements, and other sources of information, I came upon many stories of their lives, especially in the records of Washington county, Tennessee, in 1777-1780. These stories, so full of human interest, often begin before the date of the battle. The narratives introduce us to a life of tragedy as well as romance, on the inland frontier of Virginia and the Carolinas, wild savages and ferocious beasts menacing them at all times. Nowhere else in the American States were the souls of men more nearly strained to the breaking-point. Without official permis sion and without assurance of reward, these heroes of the frontier came together as brothers and neighbors, and formed a volunteer army to protect their families and their country. In this book I aim to bring out the human interest which is so overlooked in the admirable histories of the American Revolution. Thus I present, without change, the letters written to Lyman Draper by James Sevier, Gil bert Christian, John Sevier, and William Martin. Not only do these letters afford proof of military service by some of the frontiersmen, but they throw direct light on the expedition itself and on other combats with their enemy.

Synopsis Appalachia by : John Alexander Williams
Interweaving social, political, environmental, economic, and popular history, John Alexander Williams chronicles four and a half centuries of the Appalachian past. Along the way, he explores Appalachia's long-contested boundaries and the numerous, often contradictory images that have shaped perceptions of the region as both the essence of America and a place apart. Williams begins his story in the colonial era and describes the half-century of bloody warfare as migrants from Europe and their American-born offspring fought and eventually displaced Appalachia's Native American inhabitants. He depicts the evolution of a backwoods farm-and-forest society, its divided and unhappy fate during the Civil War, and the emergence of a new industrial order as railroads, towns, and extractive industries penetrated deeper and deeper into the mountains. Finally, he considers Appalachia's fate in the twentieth century, when it became the first American region to suffer widespread deindustrialization, and examines the partial renewal created by federal intervention and a small but significant wave of in-migration. Throughout the book, a wide range of Appalachian voices enlivens the analysis and reminds us of the importance of storytelling in the ways the people of Appalachia define themselves and their region.

Synopsis Seedtime on the Cumberland by : Harriette Simpson Arnow
Harriette Arnow’s roots ran deep into the Cumberland River country of Kentucky and Tennessee, and out of her closeness to that land and its people comes this remarkable history. The first of two companion volumes, Seedtime on the Cumberland captures the triumphs and tragedies of everyday life on the frontier, a place where the land both promised and demanded much. In the years between 1780 and 1803, this part of the country presented tremendous opportunity to those who endeavored to make a new life there. Drawing on an extensive body of primary sources—including family journals, court records, and personal inventories—Arnow paints a stirring portrait of these intrepid people. Like the midden at some ancient archaeological site, these accumulated items become a treasure awaiting the insight and organization of an interpreter. Arnow also draws on a medium she believed in unerringly—oral history, the rich tradition that shaped so much of her own family and regional experience. A classic study of the Old Southwest, Seedtime on the Cumberland documents with stirring perceptiveness the opening of the Appalachian frontier, the intersection of settlers and Native Americans, and the harsh conditions of life in the borderlands.

Synopsis John Sevier by : Gordon T. Belt
This book sheds new light on John Sevier, founding father of the state of Tennessee. A celebrated soldier, admired politician and founding father of the state of Tennessee, John Sevier led an adventurous life. He commanded a frontier militia into battle against British Loyalists at Kings Mountain. He waged a relentless war against the Cherokees in his effort to claim America's first frontier. He forged the state of Franklin from the western lands of North Carolina and later became Tennessee's first governor. Following his death, Sevier's accomplishments faded from public memory, but years later, writers resurrected his image through romanticized accounts of his exploits, relying heavily on folk tales and recollections from aging pioneers. Thus, life and legend intertwined. Join authors Gordon T. Belt and Traci Nichols-Belt as they examine John Sevier's extraordinary life through the lens of history and memory, shedding new light on this remarkable Tennessee figure.
