Community & Culture

The Tilson Grist Mill, which nestled more than a hundred years in the shadow of mile high Bald Mountain, was donated by the George Frank Tilson family to the Tennessee State Museum. It has been moved to Nashville and restored to use for public display and demonstration, an exciting centerpiece of the Pioneer Section of the Museum. This publication, complete with numerous photographs and illustrations, tells about the mill with interesting sketches of the life and times of some of the Tilsons. This pioneer family, which traces its American ancestry back to the Mayflower, first came to Greasy Cove (Unicoi County, Tennessee) during the 1790s. The text includes 16 pages of genealogy.

Overmountain Men

This hardback book "The Overmountain Men" is preowned and is in very good condition. It is a 1986 reprint with index. The cover has some wear but not bad. I do not see markings in the book but I did not look at each page.

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 the ending with the 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 Taxable 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.

This is a documented account of the events leading up to the Battle at King’s Mountain (South Carolina) on October 7, 1780, and one eventful hour that changed the course of American history.
