The following article was writ
ten by Mrs. Henry J .Baker, 328
Seventh Street N. E„ Atlanta, Ga.
Mrs. Baker is Historian of Atlan
lanta Chapter, and delivered this
talk at a recent meeting of the
chapter when the President of the
Covington Chapter, as State Sec
ond Vice President, shared hon
ors with the State President and
other state Officers at a beautiful
reception.
"TENNESSEE”
Tennessee may rightly be men
tioned as a middle border state.
Not so much from her geographic
position but rather from her po
litical situation. In politics for
many years, two political parties
have claimed her.
It is said that some of De Soto’s
men penetrated as far as the Cum
berland section. They found the
mountains and valleys of East
Tennessee inhabited by rich Cher
okee Indians. The Chickamaugas
lived along the river and creek
of that name, and other Indians
living in that territory were the
Creeks, Chickasaws and Choctaws.
Today all these Indian names per
petuate themselves in rr ennessee.
The state name itself is of Indian
origin. Following Daniel Boone
and other hunters adventurous
spirits from bordering colonies be
gan to cross into this territory.
They came on foot and often on
horseback, with only their rifles
and blanket and a few tools to
furnish a living. Game was plen
tiful. They soon cut trees and from
the logs built rough cabins plas
tered with clay, and the crimneys
built of natural rock and stone,
held together with this same clay.
There were no wagon roads. This
was about 1760. As more hunters
came they brought their wives
and children, all on horseback.
Some led cows, pigs and
brought along a fowl or two, and
some garden seed. When a bit of
land was cleared a cabin built, a
garden planted the settlers felt at
home. There were no schools, or
churches. The wearing apparel
was rough indeed. The men’s
clothing was partly of fur gained by
their kill. At this time there were
a few military trading posts where
French and Spanish and a few
Englishmen bartered and traded
with the Indians.
All of these pioneers were a
hardy resolute set ,and were a
growing community at the time of
the Revolution. They founded an
association called the Watauga
Association, which made laws to
govern the settlement. Among the
early outstanding names there
figure those of Sevier, Walker.
Tipton, Robertson, Isbell and
Bean. Andrew Jackson, at this
time, received the name of Old
Hickory. There was an area be
tween Coosa and Tallapoosa called
Hickory Ground and the Indians
said could never be taken by a
white man. Gen. Jackson cut
through and shattered the Indians
and their legend at the same time.
From then on Gen. Jackson was
known as “Old Hickory. From
now on the settlements grew rap
idly and increased in population.
Andrew Jackson came at the close
of the Revolution to Rogersville.
And afterwards settled perma
nently at Nashville. He held many
high positions in national and state
affairs. He was a General in the
Army, Congressman, Senator,
Judge of the Supreme Court. He
was President of the U. S. A.
from 1829 to 1837. From 1830 to
1850, Tennessee dominated the
Union as no other state had ever
done except Virginia. She held a
commanding influence in national

affairs. At this time these men
were prominent: James K. Polk,
President Andrew Jackson.
The first abolition paper in the
country was published in Tennes
see y Elisha Embree in 1820.
When the 60’s dawped, and the
fight and struggle lagan in the
War between the States, Tennes
see was divided. Though many
were Union men, the Legislature
passed ordinance of secession in
1861 when Harris was governor,
and the state furnished 100,000
men to the Confederate Army. Of
these it was said that Gen. Chea
tham was the bravest of the brave
and that Gen. Forrest was the
Marshal Ney of the Confederacy.
As bright as the morning star
shines out the name of Sam Da
vis, the heroic youngster of 21
who mounted the scafford before
he would betray his officer who
furnished him with papers of in
formation found on his person
when captured.
Matthew Fontain Maury, emi
nent scientist, though born in Vir
ginia, was reared in Tennessee. He
sided with the Confederacy. David
Farragut of navy fame, was born
in Tennessee. He sided with the
Union. True to form in the 80’s
Tennessee had two opposing gub
ernatorial candidates in the field
who were brothers, Robert L.
Taylor, Alfred A. Taylor. Robert,
the Demcorat, won.
Tennessee schools stand high in
the educational world. The Uni
versity at Knoxville, tbr Peabody
Normal College, the Tennessee In
dustrial School, Nashville, School
for the Blind at Nashville, School
for Deaf Mutes at Knoxville, and
her State public schools.
In resources Tennesse is rich
and diversified. Copper and iron
mines ere the base of many manu
factories. Her coal mine.3 are un
surpassed. The cotton lifts its
white head to the blazing sun,
while millions of corn stalks toss
their tassels in the breeze. Her
truck gardens are as good as any
while her peaches and watermel
ons flourish and are the delight of
a large negro population.
