DescriptionA 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 Americas first frontier. He forged the state of Franklin from the western lands of North Carolina and later became Tennessees first governor. Following his death, Seviers 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 Seviers extraordinary life through the lens of history and memory, shedding new light on this remarkable Tennessee figure.
