THE OVERMOUNTAIN MEN
Pat Alderman

This volume is a compilation of a series of booklets planned by the author to cover succeeding periods of early Tennessee history. Beginning with the long hunters in the 1760s and ending with Tennessee’s admittance to the Union in 1796, the thirty-six eventful years are divided into five sections:The Overmountain Men, One Heroic Hour at King’s Mountain, The Cumberland Decade, State of Franklin, and Southwest Territory.
Filled with photographs, maps, and illustrations, this compact, readable text includes “Sycamore Shoals Treaty, March 17, 1775,” “Washington County List of Taxables 1778,” “Signers of the Franklin Petition,” and many other important documents. The extensive index of approximately 5000 names includes more than 1700 of those who fought at King’s Mountain.
