Download or read book James Robertson Father of Tennessee and Founder of Nashville written by Bill Bays and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Americas first western frontier, when brave men and women crossed the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains to find better lives for themselves and their families. James Robertson led the first group of settlers over the mountains and founded the first white settlement in what would later become East Tennessee. But they were not alone. Centuries earlier, the Cherokees came from the north, conquered the local tribes, and settled there. In the year before the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, British Indian agents began inciting the Cherokees, Shawnees, and other western tribes. The frontiersmen mobilized their militias and eventually defeated the Cherokees. Afterward, James Robertson was appointed Indian Agent to keep the peace. In 1779, Robertson entered into an agreement with Richard Henderson and John Donelson to settle the area around the French Lick, which would later become Nashville. After their arrival in 1780, Indian attacks soon commenced. Using large-scale attacks and small ambushes, the protracted war against the settlers lasted for fifteen years. Richard Henderson fled, and John Donelson was killed. James Robertsons determination and steadfast leadership was the glue that kept the infant settlement together. George Washington appreciated Robertsons leadership and appointed him Brigadier General of the Western Militia. Andrew Jacksons military training began as a private serving in General Robertsons militia. Jackson learned well, and years later replaced Robertson after his retirement. Boone, Clark, Sevier, Shelby, Blount and Bledsoe were other western leaders who trusted James Robertson. James Robertsons long military and civic career began before the American Revolution and ended after the Battle of Talladega during the War of 1812. He was a brave, intelligent and patriotic leader who believed in Manifest Destiny and founded Nashville, the nations westernmost settlement of that era.
